Chandigarh:
Thanks to the implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act
in Haryana, the state's school education department has refunded
fees amounting to Rs.15.71 crore charged from the students during
the April-September period last year, a senior official said here
Sunday.
Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary Education Surina
Rajan said that under the Right to Education Act, all children in
the age group of six to 14 years were provided free and compulsory
education.
The fee, which had been charged from the students, was refunded to
them since RTE was implemented in Haryana, a spokesman said here.
The union human resource development (HRD) ministry had last week
chosen Nuh area of Haryana, one of the most backward areas of the
state, to launch the nationwide campaign for RTE.
The campaign was launched by Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar in the
presence of union HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.
