The Samagra Shiksha wing of the School Education Department has extended the last date to apply for free education under Section 12 (1) (C) of the Right to Education Act, 2009, up to March 31.
The Section 12 (1) (C) of the RTE Act, 2009 fixes the responsibility of private unaided schools to provide free and compulsory education to children from weaker and disadvantaged sections by admitting at least one-fourth of the total strength of the Class 1 or pre-school education.
In a statement, the Samagra Shiksha State Project Director B. Srinivasa Rao said that the last date for receiving applications was shifted from the earlier fixed date of March 25 to March 31 to enable maximum number of beneficiaries to utilise the opportunity.
