Taking cognisance of a complaint against an alleged fraud to get seats under Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, the chairperson of State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR), Usha Negi wrote to additional district magistrate (ADM) of Dehradun district seeking probe into the matter. Recently, Negi received a complaint letter from a resident of Rishikesh in which he stated that two businessmen in Rishikesh who are also brothers, have admitted their three children in a private school under RTE by presenting false documents of their income. According to the complainant, the deserving poor students do not get the chance to get quality education in the schools due to such people, therefore action should be taken against such culprits, as per the complainant’s letter. Regarding this issue, Negi has written to the ADM and instructed him to investigate the matter and asked him to submit the report within one month in the commission.
