Children of labourers working in brick kilns will be admitted to the nearest government school as part of Haryana Government's efforts to ensure that no child is deprived of education for want of funds.
"Such children will also be given books and uniform free of cost," Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal said here today.
The children will also get mid-day meal, she said.
Bhukkal said to ensure that girls did not face difficulty in going to educational institutions, special buses would be deployed in coordination with Transport Department.
