It has also initiated a move to revise the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) regulations, 2014, which stipulates norms and procedures for giving recognition to teacher education institutes.
"It has been observed that teacher education institutions have been violating the NCTE regulations as well as terms and conditions under which recognition was granted to them despite several checks and balances remaining in place," the council noted, notifying its decision to call for affidavits from the institutes recently.
It directed the institutes to submit to it a "comprehensive affidavit" along with "relevant documents" in support of the information furnished by them by November 15.
"In the event of any incorrect or false information provided in the affidavit, the signatory of the affidavit shall invariably be prosecuted under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code for providing false and wrong information," the council warned. Non-compliance with the instructions and non-submission of the affidavit on or before the stipulated date will lead to the withdrawal of the recognition under Section 17(1) of the NCTE Act, 1993, it added.
The council has initiated the move following instructions from the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry, official sources said.
