Government had given assured them to be given the status of Government undertaking schools but nothing has yet been done. Meanwhile, Government issued notices to apply for the Government recommendation from other schools. English Medium Sangharsh Kriti Samiti has strongly opposed this move of Government.

Samiti President Krishna Yerawar said that Government has asked for applications from 300 English primary schools to be considered as Government aided schools. In this, 206 applications were selected for consideration. Panels have visited these schools two-three times for inspection but Government has still held back the decision.

Despite having applications to consider, Government now has again asked for new application for recommendation of Government-aided schools. This has irked the primary schools waiting for Government nod.
