The level of commitment in enforcing RTE seems questionable with a large number of complaints received by the NationalCommission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) remaining unresolved. Figures obtained from NCPCR through an RTI filed by an activist show that only 100 of 1,761 complaints made between April 1, 2011 and March 16, 2012 have been resolved by NCPCR. The record for 2011-12-only 5.6% cases resolved-is especially poor considering in 2010-2011, which was the first year of enforcement of RTE, NCPCR had managed to resolve 692 of the 1,089 (54.36%) cases brought to them. 

The figures do not include cases with the state commissions; there were zero cases with the national commission from several states, including Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura. The number of cases coming to NCPCR has increased by over 61%, but the percentage of those resolved has declined drastically in the second year. It is not really indicative of inaction on the part of the commission, argues NCPCR chairman, Shanta Sinha, because, as she says, "We cannot close a case till we get a response from the complainant that he is satisfied." "In many cases," she continues, "There is silence on the part of the complainant. We address issues on a case-by-case basis. It is not a mechanical exercise. We may decide to close some but if it's a grave issue, we have to look into it." 

However, Delhi has still fared well. In the first year, 32 of its 61 complaints were resolved. In the second year, of the 517 cases, 80 were resolved, and that was the high point. The number for other states is in single digit.
