NEW DELHI: South Delhi Municipal Corporation has asked the Delhi government to amend its order asking unrecognized primary schools to submit their application through the directorate of education, arguing granting of recognition falls under the civic body's jurisdiction.

SDMC's education committee chairman Satish Upadhyay issued a letter to education minister Kiran Walia saying such institutions will have to submit an online application to the directorate of education."Primary education is one of the compulsory functions of the corporation," the letter said.
