Non-Submission of Application
for NOC by Bhubaneswar Model Public School known as Takshila Public School
under RTE Act since last three years, exposed through RTI
Dear friends
As per section 18 of
the Right to Education Act No school ,
other than a school established, owned or controlled
by the Govt. or the local authority, after commencement of this Act, shall be established or
function , without obtaining a certificate of recognition from
the State Govt. Further sub-section-5 stipulates
that any person who establishes or runs a school without obtaining certificate of recognition , or continues to run a school after
withdrawal of recognition , shall
be liable to fine which may extend to one lakh rupees
and in case of continuing
contraventions , to such a fine
of ten thousand rupees for each day during
which such contravention continues.
Odisha RTE Rules, 2010
(Rule-13) has prescribed detailed procedure for submission of the application for
getting certificate of recognition along with its renewal of every year.
On 11.11.15, RTI
Application was submitted to the PIO, Directorate of Elementary Education, Odisha seeking information about details of
recognition granted to Bhubaneswar Model Public School known as
Takshashila Schhol at Plot No.-N5/A-1697, IRC village, Bhubaneswar , if
applied, then date of application, Date of verification by concerned DEO/BEO, copy of NOC etc. On 19.12.15, the PIO has responded stating that
Bhubaneswar Model Public School has not applied for NOC , through
on-line for the year 2014-15, 2015-16.
It means the school
has lost its legal status to provide education to the children. It is disheartening to note that the
appropriate Authority i.e., District Education Officer has neither inspected
the school not derecognized the school.
We are going to expose
more private schools running without NOC
in Bhubaneswar very soon.
This is true picture of Nabin Patnaik Govt. in Odisha.
