Nodal officers to monitor RTE implementation

Last Updated 02 March 2013, 19:07 IST

To ensure more students enrol themselves under Right to Education (RTE), the Directorate of Public Instruction (DPI) has appointed nodal officers in each of educational districts in the State to oversee admission under the Act.

“Last year, of the nearly 50,000 students who registered under the RTE, as many as 46,000 students were admitted under the Act. This year it is estimated that more than one lakh students would seek admission under the RTE quota,” said an official with the DPI.

The nodal officers will oversee number of applications submitted, total intake of students under the Act in each of the taluks and the districts in the State and also collect information about monitoring processes, etc.     

The nodal officer for Bangalore South will be the Director of Secondary Education, while the Joint Director of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) will be responsible for Bangalore North.

Taking note of the higher number of students registered under the Act, each of the taluks in the City’s north and south districts will have a nodal officer. In Bangalore Rural, the Principal of District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) has been appointed as the nodal officer.
