Right to Education often called RTE in common circles has been making news for the past few years. It allows the children to get admission under certain category allowing them to drop the tuition fees. The RTE is often allocated seats for the kids of underprivileged categories of the society. And we talk about Nagpur district, it works for around 680 schools for the said kids. In the latest, the education department has bagged a huge amount of applications.
This year they have received around 26801 applications giving 25 per cent of the reserved seats for the children of underprivileged sections. With such a huge number of applications in the education department, this year the students have only 6797 seats, which have been reserved in the total number of schools in Nagpur district. Currently, the procedure for online application is underway and we have more than 28,000 applications in the city.
However, the experts feel that the said number is lesser than the previous year with 7043 seats that would be reserved against the online 23000 children’s online applications that were received for the total number of seats.
