New Delhi: Braving the
winter chill, thousands of parents Tuesday morning queued up for
hours outside schools across the capital on the second day of sale
of forms for nursery admission.
Hopping from one school to another, scrambling for forms, many
took an off from work desperate to apply in as many schools as
possible.
"I've visited several schools since yesterday (Monday) and would
apply at least in 20 schools as I don't want to take any chances.
I hope my child gets through," said Rani Verma of central Delhi.
"I will get extra points as I am a single mother," added the
mother of a three-year-old boy who was out collecting forms since
8.30 a.m.
Taking in account the chilly weather, some schools like the ASN
public school in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar Phase-I, served hot tea
to the parents who stood in serpentine queues.
The prospectuses of various schools range between Rs.25 and
Rs.150. The last date of submitting the forms is between Jan 9 and
11 depending on the school.
