Delhi govt directs monthly counselling sessions for parents of out-of-school children
Last Updated: Jul 29, 2026
What’s the update
The Delhi government has directed all local bodies to organise monthly counselling sessions for parents of out-of-school children. The sessions will be conducted at ward and zone levels to ensure regular engagement with families whose children are not attending school. Counselling will cover reasons for non-enrolment or drop-out, available government schemes, and support services to bring children back to education. The directive does not specify a fixed date for the start of these sessions; candidates and parents should check the official Delhi government education portal for the exact schedule.
What candidates should do now
Follow these steps to stay informed and prepare for the counselling sessions:
- Visit the official Delhi government education portal regularly for updates on session dates, locations, and timings.
- Identify the ward and zone where your child resides to know which counselling session applies to you.
- Gather basic documents such as Aadhaar card, birth certificate, and previous school records (if any) to share during counselling.
- Prepare a brief note on reasons for your child being out of school; this will help counsellors suggest the right support.
- Attend the scheduled session with both parents, if possible, to ensure clarity and shared understanding of next steps.
FAQ
What if I miss a monthly counselling session?
If you miss a session, attend the next scheduled one in your ward or zone. The portal will list upcoming dates, so you can plan accordingly.
Will the government provide transport or incentives to re-enrol my child?
Several government schemes offer incentives such as free uniforms, textbooks, and mid-day meals. Details will be shared during the counselling session. You can also check the portal for scheme eligibility.
Can I request a change in counselling date or venue?
Requests for changes are considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact the ward education officer or check the portal for the grievance redressal process and required forms.
