As school admission season is fast approaching, organizations working in the field of education, are gearing up to hold a Children's Adalat to ensure the effective implementation of Right to Education (RTE) Act.

The Dakshina Kannada District Federation of Education Resource Centres and many other like minded organizations have decided to hold the adalat, where parents can find solutions to their problems related to obtaining admissions to primary schools under RTE quota. The adalat will be held in the city on March 3.

President of the federation Umesh Nirmal told TOI that there are several confusions regarding the implementation of RTE Act. "The adalat will focus on violations on part of private schools with regard to ensuring seats for poor children. Parents and others, who have specific cases of violations of RTE rules, can submit it before the adalat with documents. Issues will be discussed in the adalat and suitable action will be taken to ensure justice," he said.

Chairman of Karnataka Commission for Protection of Child Rights, state coordinators of Campaign Against Child Labour - Karnataka and RTE Vigilance and Monitoring Committee will be taking part in the adalat, he added.
