In Hailakandi district, Assam, India, authorities have issued show-cause notices to 38 private schools for operating without valid government recognition, a violation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. This action was prompted by complaints regarding irregularities in these institutions. According to the district inspector of schools, 34 schools were initially required to submit their recognition documents within five days, with warnings of closure and legal action for non-compliance. In a recent update, four more schools received similar notices, increasing scrutiny on these institutions. The local organizations, Chatra Mukti Sangram Samiti and Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, have been instrumental in pushing for this inquiry, alleging widespread violations and demanding a magistrate-level investigation into the matter. Authorities have mandated that all schools under scrutiny cease fresh admissions and suspend ongoing academic activities until further instructions are provided.
