Rosary has not submitted audit report since 2002,reveals RTI

Ashok Bamboli,founder-president of the Pune City Parents Association (PCPA) today alleged at a press conference today that there is no transparency in the working of the Rosary School.

Bamboli said that being an unaided minority school,the institute is supposed to submit an audit account to the Charity Commissioner but the school has not submitted its audit since 2002.

The school has been extracting all the benefits that a minority school is supposed to get from the government,be it in electricity or water bills. But the school has been ignoring the part where they have to submit an account to the Charity Commissioner. The school has not been submitting this acccount for the past eight years, alleged Bamboli.

He said that he came to know of this with the help of a Right To Information(RTI) petition flied withthe information officer at the office of the Charity Commission. Apart from Rosary,there are almost eight to ten schools that have not submitted their reports as well. I,as a member of the PCPA,demand that an enquiry be made into this matter, he said.

Bamboli also said that out of the 180 unaided schools in the city,more than 40 schools have come together to form the PCPA. I urge parents of other schools also to join us so that we have a common voice for all our grievances, added Bamboli.
