Letter to West Bengal and other states on Aadhar enrolment in schools unanswered : Anil Swarup

KOLKATA: Union School Education secretary Anil Swarup today said a letter has been sent to West Bengal government and some other states on Aadhaar enrolment of school children for the midday meal scheme.

"So far I am concerned haven't received any reply ... But it is not merely a question of West Bengal. Some other states also have not performed their duty. There are quite a number of states," Swarup told reporters on the sidelines of an ASSOCHAM meet here.

He was asked if the Centre had sent a letter to West Bengal seeking cooperation in supplying data and an action plan on Aadhar to ensure 100 per cent enrolment of children.

Around 1.24 crore children are enrolled in government schools in Bengal.
