The State education department will take strict action against 140 private schools in the districts of Haryana and Punjab for not providing details of beneficiary students under 134A to the department.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier ordered the state education department to instruct the private schools to share information about the allotment of 10 percent quota to economically weaker section students under 134A. As per the order, all the schools were instructed to provide information like the availability of seats, and admission notice of respective schools which were to be uploaded to the website of the education department. While many schools have come forward with their details, nearly 140 private schools have underplayed the order. Strict action will be taken against defaulters, and also warned that if these schools failed to make their information available at the earliest, their recognition might be withdrawn.
