Bhubaneswar: With unauthorised schools mushrooming in various parts of Odisha, the state government has advised parents not to admit their wards in those not having issued ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) by the competent authority.
Over two dozens public schools have been found to be operating unauthorisedly in the Odisha capital.
The Directorate of Secondary Education, functioning under the School and Mass Education (S&ME) department, has issued a notification in this regard.
“Complaints are being received from different quarters that some public schools are running unauthorisedly and due to lack of information, parents are admitting their wards in these institutions thereby causing problems for them,” the notification said.
According to reports, only 48 public schools have obtained NOC in Khurda district. Of the 67 schools functioning in Bhubaneswar, only 38 public schools have been granted NOC. Only one English medium school each in Dhenkanal and Kendrapara have obtained NOC while two private schools have authorisation for admission of students in Nayagarh and Malkangiri districts, according to the list prepared and notified by the Directorate.
