PIL to allow smart phones in residential schools

3 years ago

I'm a student of class 12 of a residential setup school. With the rising trend of using online coaching for competitive exams and availability of very limited resources in residential schools like Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (and others as well) for preparing for competitive exams as there is only board centric study is practiced, and as I've already written an email to the commissioner of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti to allow smartphones inside the campus at least to the students of class 12 and awaited for 30 days for reply and not received anything yet, so I want to file a PIL to allow mobile phones in schools at least to the students of class 12. Though there are books for competitive exams, often we face problems in understanding various topics and numerical. Most of the teachers don't entertain us for those. Resources in Libraries are limited too and most of them are back dated (not according to latest syllabus). If mobile phones cause any distraction, there are certain books and magazines too, which cause the same. And unfortunately, those materials are often available. As our syllabus is not completed, most of us are thinking about taking subscriptions from different platforms to brush up our preparation. But we are rendering as if schools shall open, then we will not be able to use those subscriptions and our money will go in vain. Will the PIL last in the high court? Will the PIL get a judgement in the favour of the students?
