I have 2 children. Elder one is 7 and younger one is 4 and a half year old. Is there anybody who has idea about;
1) can I admit my children to the Indian school?
2) if I admit my children to the Indian school, shall I and my wife get permission to stay in India? 
Please help.

Are you from India? and were your kids born in India?

If not you will have to get a visa or if possible i would say the PIO is the best option as it lasts for 15 yrs. This can only be obtained if your an Indian.

Dawn

Dhinke, Thanks for the reply. Actually I am from Bangladesh. But as far I know, if anybody wants to study at any part/ country of this world then can take admission. If they are adult then will stay alone, but if they are minor then one adult (Father/ mother) will accompany them. Same system is in Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian country. Can you pls explain me the system of India? Thanks again.

HiMaruf,
To gain work permit I have already explain above and If you are well talented person than you can apply many big companies in India like IBM, Wipro, Infosys, Microsoft, Convergys, Airtel or TCS.
Problem is that the way you are seeking entry by second mean.
Wont give you better result at last you will be in trouble.
Or you can do like come on tourist visa apply here by meeting face to face and then go back.
In my view India wont be so expensive for you to visit.
But here keeping Foreign national means that you need to be 100% top class professional or profession holding in related field which I have explain above.
For Kids you can apply for school here like Doon Public School, Dehradoon but again they will check your financial background and they have hostel accommodation. So you again cant stay for long.
Greetings
