The Odisha RTE Forum- a collective domain of important education networks and alliances, donor and implementing agencies, civil society organizations, teacher unions and concerned individuals has been constituted in the line of the National RTE Forum and acts as the state chapter for the same. The Forum came into existence through a collective process in tune with the national outfit in the formative stage and was later carried forward by its State Working Committee. However the Forum was formed unanimously on 19th October 2011 and since then the working committee has been sitting regularly to discuss on emerging issue in the realm of RTE.

Working Committee
To carry forward the activities of the Forum it was agreed upon that initially all the agencies, organizations and networks who have initiated the process of the Forum would be taken as members of the Working Committee. Those apart, keeping in view the accessibility issue, Bhubaneswar-based organizations were also taken as part of the Working Committee. In future there could be a larger committee involving all the grass root player and activists to steer the activity of the forum. It was decided that the larger body could convene in each quarter to appraise the development on RTE and recommend necessary actions.
