Clarification needed to LKG and UKG students for reimbursement of Children Education Allowance and Hostel Subsidy

In clarification of DoP&T order students from Nursery to Twelfth standard are eligible for the Children Education Allowance and Hostel Subsidy reimbursement for Central Government Employees. Link

The word 'Nursery' has a little bit of confusion, whether it is Kinder Garten or Primary and or Pre K.G. But for the Disabled (Physically and mentally handicapped) children, it is clearly given in the DoP&T order that students from the age of 5 years to 22 years are eligible.

We hope that in all establishments, Children Education Allowance and Hostel Subsidy reimbursement applications has been sanctioned for the LKG and UKG students (Not for Pre K.G.). Hence not yet received any objection from Accounts Departments.

The doubt is that the same criteria is adapted for Kendra Vidyalaya students also.

We can expect orders clarifying this.
