Kum Kum Primary School, Barh Malik, Sonipat

Only a one-time registration charge of seven hundred and fifty rupees is on public record. The school's annual statutory filing enters zero for monthly tuition at every grade across three years, which cannot be the whole picture — that would amount to about a thousand rupees per teacher per month for ten teachers, well below what any school could operate on. This is an incomplete filing, not free schooling. Ask the office directly what the monthly fee is.

None, and none is expected. Board affiliation with the Haryana state board begins at Class 10, so a primary school does not hold one. A board name appears in a header field of its filing, but that is the authority granting primary recognition, not an affiliation.

Class 1 to Class 5. The school's own filing declares about 105 children in pre-kindergarten and kindergarten and it employs two teachers assigned to pre-primary work, but the government return records no pre-primary enrolment. The section may well run — confirm directly before planning an early-years admission.

Ten teachers for 168 children, roughly seventeen to one, which is a good ratio for a primary school here. Nine of the ten are women.

Better than its neighbours. Ramps and handrails are both recorded, the only school in this group with both.

Career counselling, behavioural counselling, special learning needs support and an English support programme are all recorded as offered — unusual for a school of this size.

We have not published a figure. The school's filing records 240 square metres of land and the same again as built-up area, alongside twelve classrooms — those numbers cannot all be right. Ask to see the premises.
