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.
