this could result in administrative malpractices. The Committee felt that
there should be adequate checks and balances to reduce the opportunities
for misuse of authority, particularly in the context of requirement of all
unaided schools to obtain recognition. The Committee has recommended
that all applications for recognition should be examined not by Education
Department but by committees consisting of retired teachers and
Government officials, and educationists; and grant of recognition or
otherwise should be based on the report of these independent committees.

7 The RtE Act puts enormous responsibility on local bodies for successful
implementation of free and compulsory elementary education to all children
within their jurisdiction. While District and Taluks Panchayats, and Municipal
Corporations in Gujarat are well equipped for this, most of the municipalities
are not. The Committee was informed that out of 165 Municipalities and

Corporations in Gujarat are well equipped for this, most of the municipalities
are not. The Committee was informed that out of 165 Municipalities and
Municipal Corporations only
19 are providing elementary education and such municipalities, are called ‘
authorized municipalities’. The remaining 146 have resolved that they are
not in a position to take this responsibility and the State Government has
therefore entrusted this responsibility to the concerned District Panchayat.
The Committee was informed that the main reason for the refusal of
unauthorized municipalities to manage elementary education was that
State Government provided only 95% of expenditure and the remaining5%
was to be borne by the local body. Since these municipalities did not have
financial resources, they opted not to provide this service. The Committee
was firmly of the view that ULBs cannot avoid this responsibility and
recommended that as in the case of District Panchayats, State Government
should fully reimburse to ULBs the expenditure on elementary education.
The Committee has also recommended that even though the financial
position of Municipal Corporations is stronger, this is nottheir core function
and they should also be provided full grants and not 85% as per the
present practice.
