>Dear Friend,
>
> Please find enclosed hereto copies of the third version of Free 
>and Compulsory Education Bill, 2004 dated 08.01.2004 and a report of State 
>Level Consultative Meeting held in Kolkata on 28.02.2004 to discuss this 
>Bill.
>
> We are in the process of preparing an alternative draft of Free 
>and Compulsory Education Bill, 2004 and therefore, we would request you to 
>send your comments on the third version of Education Bill to us as early as 
>possible. The alternative draft of the bill will be made available to all 
>the concerned people for generating public debate and opinion.We are 
>thinking of holding a National Consultative Meeting at New Delhi sometimes 
>in May or June this year to finalise the alternative draft Bill. We have 
>got your support in the past and we hope to have your support now also to 
>take the matter to its logical end.
>
> We have found that the third version of the Bill is the outcome of 
>peoples' outcry against the earlier drafts of the Bills. Some important 
>things like inclusion of 0-6 age group in some form have now been done and 
>some important deletions like distance education have been made. On 
>cursory reading of the third version of Bill, it appears that the 
>provisions made are totally inadequate and several drastic deletions, 
>modification, additions etc. are still warranted. We also suggest you to 
>hold meetings at State and Districts levels etc. with different groups and 
> sections of people to discuss the Bill and communicate to us the outcome 
>thereof. We also request you to send to us other relevant material 
>appearing in newspapers, journals including notes and articles having been 
>written by the concerned people. We further request to send us your 
>suggestions and comments freely. This would be the first Central 
>Legislation on education in the country and therefore, we all have to do 
>our best to see that a good law is legislated.
