Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : An alleged foul play in the issuance of Extension for Temporary Registrations (ETRs) by the staff of the Hyderabad District Education Officer and Regional Joint Director has come to light. Information obtained under the RTI Act reportedly shows that dubious sanitation certificates for private schools that are issued by the GHMC are being validated by the DEO and RJD office staff to issue false ETRs to certain private schools in the city.
Availing of an ETR requires nine documents including safety, sanitation, and transport certificates generated by the GHMC. Every school is issued these certificates from its respective municipal circle office. But this is not the case with some private schools. According to RTI activist Matam Mallesham, “Sanitary certificates issued to the schools in question were not matching with their respective area of operation or GHMC circle. Instead, those certificates have been issued by the circles other than that of the schools located.”
Information obtained reveals that many schools do not possess certificates issued from their respective municipal circles.
He added that, “ETR is issued by the DEO after verifying the documents produced by the managements of schools. However, it has been observed that mandatory documents have been generated by the staff of DEO and RJD for procuring ETRs.” The information obtained reveals that many schools do not possess certificates issued from their respective municipal circles. For example, Ravindra Bharathi School from Santhosh Nagar comes under Circle No 1, but was issued the sanitary certificate issued from Khairatabad Circle number 4.
Similarly, Narayana E-Techno School from Saidabad was granted the certificate by municipal authorities in Khairatabad. It is alleged that Khairatabad’s municipal office is a hub for issuing these false sanitary certificates. Other such schools that have obtained certificates from Khairatabad are Jyothi Bala Mandir High School in Moosarambagh and Krishnaveni Talent High School in Madannapet that belong to Kapra. Complaints had been made to higher authorities with regard to these false Sanitary Certificates but no action has been taken so far.
The RTI reply also shows that several schools have produced certificates with improper seals and signatures though issued by the same circle. Chaitanya Techno School in Nallakunta and Blue Birds High School in Musheerabad have been issued certificates from GHMC Abids circle authorities, but the seals look completely different. Mallesham points out that it is the handiwork of employees working with DEO and RJD office who are involved in this racket.
The applicant Mallesham has submitted a complaint to the School Education Commissioner and sought action against the responsible persons behind this whole episode. He sought a complete enquiry into this matter and alleged that officers in the DEO and RJD were involved in generating fake certificates to facilitate the illegal practices of private school managements.
