CNPO seeks information on education through RTI

Kangla Online: Imphal: Wednesday, October 08, 2014.

Consequent to the failure of the district coordinators under Chandel Zonal Education Office to furnish detailed reports related to education in the district, the Chandel Naga People`™s Organization (CNPO), under section 6 of RTI, has submitted an application seeking information of the same.

CNPO general secretary LV Robert told media persons during a press conference that the coordinators had agreed to furnish the details during a joint meeting of CNPO and ZEO office Chandel which was held three months back.

Robert said the phase wise application submission seeking information under section 6 of RTI has affected coordinators of MIS, Civil works, Cal, KVGB and residential schools in the first phase.

As these coordinators have failed to respond to the application, a Xerox copy of the same has been submitted to the principal secretary (S) Govt of Manipur under section 19 (1 of RTI Act) for further action, he said.

Robert also informed of CNPO seeking information from the remaining four coordinators of Pedagogy, Community Mobilization, mid day meal and Integrated Education for Disable (IED) that has been already processed.

Alleging that utilization of funds given to the district under SSA in 2012-2013 is not known, Robert asked for the whereabouts of the fund.

While demanding timely response from the authority concerned, Robert cautioned for strong agitation.
