Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today expressed happiness over admission of a three-year-old 'divyang' (differently abled girl) in a school in Dhanbad who was previously turned away.
Expressing happiness at Jitisha Khaitans admission, Das instructed the school managements not to discriminate children on any ground, an official release said.
"If any information to this effect comes then strict action would be taken against the guilty", the Chief Minister warned.
The swift action came after media reports said the management of a private school in Dhanbad misbehaved with the differently abled child and her parents when they had gone for admission, the release said.
The issue reached the chief minister through twitter and the CM immediately asked the school management to enroll the child.
The initiative of the Chief Minister helped the child get admission in the school, the release said.
The Chief Minister said the priority of the state government was to improve the level of education.
The aim should be that the children of the poor, labourers, farmers and the last person in the society should not remain illiterate.
Asking the teachers of both the government and the private to have affection towards children, Das said all children should get equal education and then only Jharkhand would become self-sufficient and prosperous.
