Mirchpur migrant kids have a school to study
IANS | Mar 7, 2011, 03.54am IST
HISAR: Children of Dalit families who had left Mirchpur village in
Hisar out of fear of the Jat community and are camping at the district
headquarters for the last many days, have been finally admitted in a
school. These 32 children have taken admission at Raja Ram Memorial
government school here after the intervention of Hisar administration
officials. Their families are currently staying at a farm-house here.
So far many government and private schools had refused to admit these
children as they do not wanted to offend the Jat community.
"We have admitted the Dalit children to school. The administration has
also provided them free textbooks and study material.We would also
provide free transportation to these children," a local administration
official said Saturday. "We would make sure that no child suffers on
the front of education," he added. Mirchpur village in Hisar district,
about 300 km from Chandigarh, hit the headlines last year when some
people from the dominant Jat community set fire to a row of houses of
Dalit families on April 21.
