PTA

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a formal organization composed of parents, teachers and staff that is intended to facilitate parental participation in a College.
Indian Colleges have PTAs and the government has run initiatives to create awareness of PTAs amongst parents, teachers and college management. There is no national PTA organisation.
In 1996, the Maharashtra government declared PTAs mandatory in all colleges within the state. By 2014 50% of the colleges had a PTA. State guidelines for PTAs included:

• The parents of every student shall be members of a PTA
• The PTA does not interfere in the day-to-day administration of the colleges
• 50% of PTA members should be women
• Duties of the PTA committee should involve assisting the college in planning and organising educational programs, seeing the syllabus is completed, to collect and present information regarding college fees
