“We have given them two months time to apply for the certificate of recognition and are taking steps to ensure that they do not continue their classes without the certificate in the coming academic year,” said a senior from the department.
All schools which have been served with the notice are affiliated to ICSE and CBSE boards. According to the department, the maximum number of schools that were identified were from Thiruvallur and Salem districts, which had 33 schools each, while 30 schools in Coimbatore, Kancheepuram and Tiruppur were found to have violated the Act. In Chennai, no private school was found to be functioning without obtaining the recognition.

Recognition will be granted to schools, which fulfils all norms and standards specified under the RTE act.
On violation, any person running the schools without getting certificate of recognition or continuing after withdrawal of recognition is liable to a fine of ₹1lakh.
