Chhattisgarh Government Takes Stern Action Against Private Schools

The Chhattisgarh government has issued a warning to private schools in the state against denying admissions to students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act. The move comes after several complaints were received regarding private schools refusing to admit students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The RTE Act, which was enacted in 2009, mandates that all private schools reserve 25% of their seats for students from economically weaker sections of society. However, many private schools have been found to be flouting this rule, citing various reasons such as lack of infrastructure or financial constraints.

Government Orders Private Schools to Comply with RTE Norms

The Chhattisgarh government has ordered all private schools in the state to comply with the RTE norms and admit students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The government has also warned that any school found violating the RTE Act will face strict action, including withdrawal of recognition and affiliation.

The move is expected to benefit thousands of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are unable to afford education in private schools. The government has also announced plans to provide financial assistance to private schools that admit students under the RTE Act.
