# Karnataka Private Schools Seek Uniform RTE Reimbursement Across India 2026-08-06T14:04:28+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Karnataka private schools association has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to set a national per-child reimbursement standard for private schools admitting students under the Right to Education quota. It cited payments ranging from Rs 25,155 to Rs 33,806 in Tamil Nadu, Rs 19,176 in New Delhi, Rs 21,138 in Tripura and Rs 17,670 in Maharashtra. Madhya Pradesh pays Rs 4,419, while Karnataka pays between Rs 8,000 and Rs 16,000. The association said reimbursements still rely on notifications issued between 2013 and 2018, despite higher education allocations and central contributions. It also sought data on per-child spending in government schools. The report included no government response or independent cost assessment. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: education funding, Karnataka, private schools, RTE, school reimbursement Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-private-schools-seek-uniform-rte-reimbursement-across-india/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
