Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit inaugurated a co-educational residential
school Wednesday that is supported by the Kalinga Institute of Social
Sciences (KISS), Bhubaneswar.
The
school at Issapur near Najafgarh in south Delhi is meant for children
from the scheduled and other backward castes, as also from the
minorities and orphaned children.
Speaking
at the inauguration, Dikshit said, "Our government is committed to
uplift the poor and under-privileged sections of the society in order to
bring them at par with others."
She
added, "The government would ensure that there is no case of dropout
and there is 100 percent success in the examination. Further, the
students would also be imparted vocational and sports training."
KISS is already running a school exclusively for tribal children at Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The school is functional from the first to third standards at present and would be gradually upgraded to Class XII.
