Dehradun: The Principals Progressive Schools’ Association (PPSA) has decided to move Uttarakhand high court (HC) as the state government and education department failed to disburse the money under RTE to private schools. PPSA’s president Prem Kashyap said, “The government was ordered to pay us within six weeks. However, we are yet to receive any money and that amounts to contempt of court’s orders and we will soon approach the HC again,” he said.

RTE project director Jyoti Yadav said that she was “out of state” and will look into the matter on return. “I will get back on Thursday and will look into the issue. However, the Union government has released money and the state has made provision for the funds in the budget as well. We will get the money by June and it will then be released to the schools,” Yadav said
