When the admission process for the economically weaker section (EWS) started in January this year, he had applied in 12 schools including Ahlcon Public School, Evergreen School, Salwan Public School in the area.

He ran from pillar to post to get the necessary documents and to submit the application to private schools.But some schools rejected the application form, saying they only admit children living in one km radius.
