The state education department (primary) has issued a show-cause notice to the deputy director of school education over inaction against schools violating Right To Education (RTE) norms and operating without RTE approval, the response to an RTI query has revealed. The RTI response also revealed that the deputy director blamed the civic education department for not submitting its report.
