SC notice to Centre, Punjab over failure to implement RTE

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Monday sought responses from Centre and Punjab govt to a PIL alleging that the AAP-governed state has failed to implement the constitutional guarantee of free and compulsory education to every child from economically weaker and marginalised sections of society.Though RTE and RTI were among the main planks on which AAP acquired political salience at national level, the PIL by Jagmohan Singh Raju said RTE Act’s mandate for a quota of 25% for children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged sections of society in schools remained largely unimplemented in state.“Non-compliance with RTE Act by Punjab is neither recent nor incidental but has persisted since its enactment in 2009. Over the years, reported appeals have been issued by Union govt to secure compliance, and recommendations have also been made by National Commission for Scheduled Castes,” the petitioner said.
