The state government submitted in the Karnataka High Court that in Bangalore city, except 160 minority institutions already notified by the department, all other educational institutions will come under the purview of Right to Education Act and parents can apply for benefits under RTE in all such schools.
Earlier, education department had issued a circular asking these institutions to get a certificate form the tahsildar to claim benefit as minority under RTE.
