Yes, they should. In fact most of these public schools have their incomes exempt from the income tax department u/s 10(23)(c). This exemption should only be granted if such social services are carried out for these children. I hope such understanding comes within themselves and has not to be forced.

There are people in the society who can not afford private education. Just because they are devoid of economic entitlement the society should not differentiate in opportunity. Private schools should be encouraged to take up social responsibility. It should not be forced.

Of course they should do it. A Law should be made that, all the private schools should allot certain percentage of seats to the under privileged children of that locality. Equal education should be given to that children and special care should be taken for them. Making all the government schools to the standard of private schools will take more time. Making the private schools educating the underprivileged children will be a good solution. On doing this we can give some tax exemptions to the private schools.

When we examine the history of private educational institutions in India, it starts with a social comitment in promoting education in the rural india. Various religious institutions started private education institutions to help the nation to impart education to its citizen. Taking that angle in to consideration I think the private education institutions must consider and render education support and opertunity to the deprived sections.

The private schools must move beyond their own school walls and reach the nearest government schools where they can pick atleast 10 deserving children by their own means. Its about time the private schools start sharing some social responsibility.

As a matter of fact, the poor and deprived children's families are not able to pay the fee of private schools. As far as my views are concerned, most of the private schools don't help in educating deprived and marginalised children.

I have an NGO, working of slum children in Delhi.10 girls from slum are staying with us. When I took them to a private school and asked the school to give the children some kind of concession,they refused. I went to other schools but nobody helped us. Even they told me - 'if u wish to send your children go to our Hindi medium class which is on an open entry basis for 5 to 9 year old children.' I think the govt. should giude them strictly regarding similar conduct.

Private Schools (Both Recognized & Unrecognized) play a vital role in educating the children from weaker section. In fact, a large number of unrecognized private school operate in the slum and resettlement areas and impart quality education at nominal cost. But still a large number of students are not able to enrol themselves. I feel that support should be given to these children who are not able to get quality education and the cost can be shared with private schools, which are also contributing in social development.

Education is the way for a better tomorrow, having seen problems in affording primary education at the grassroot level I strongly feel that those associated with providing private school education have a social obligation to reach out to the needy section in providing meaningful development of the humanity for a better tomorrow

Yes, Private school must teach the under-privilidged children. It is their social responsibility to impart education to these children at least in a certain percentage.

Private schools earn more than enough from the well-to-do parents. Thus, it definitely becomes their responsibility to give something back to the society by educating poor children. Although it is a fact that it takes lot of resources, but if each school takes up the responsibility of 10 children, it will hardly affect their "business", and it will add to the number of educated people in our society.

No. How can private schools which receive no funds from the government be responsible for providing free education to underprivileged children? It is unfair to make such a demand. Private schools are already providing quality education and working hard to improve the standards of education every year and this demands a lot of resources. Private schools generate these funds by organsing various fundraising events in the school. It is the governments responsibility to provide good education for all and not of private schools.

In my opinion, the socio-economic deprived children should be taught in private schools because even they have talents which just needs to be sprouted.

Yes, Private Schools should reserve seats to educate economically deprived Children as part of their social obligation

Yes, all the well-off private schools should provide opportunity to the deprived children from remote villages and slums to learn equally as the other better-off children. This may be inclusive or separte night school with separate teachers.

Private schools already have an important role in basic education. Middle class schools mainly are doing very well excluding some 'professional' schools.

Yes, private school should take deprived children to mainstream them. We adopt the same policy and we are very much successful in giving quality education to deprived children living in slums.

Yes they can do it. Specifically, it is the prime duty of the education deparment of the governament that these schools put speical attendtion to such students.

Yes, private schools should educate poor children because quality education is necessary for our nation's development. If money plays the main role the goals can never be achieved

Yes, Private Schools should reserve seats to educate economically deprived Children as part of their social obligation.

Yes, they should. A good educational background opens the door for so many possibilities for India.

no .....it is the responsibilty of Govt. unless the private school has got special cocession from the Govt. to run the educational Institution.

Yes definitely. Private schools has done good jobs so far in helping talent grow in our country, but there are millions of under privileged who cannot afford the cost of good education.
hence they also should come under their additional responsibility for this cause. India today need all our children to be educated ....then only we can build a strong nation.

Private school should come forward for the poor kids in their neighbourhood. They have the capabilities and means and thus should set an example in nation building.
Thanks.
