State Commission for Protection of Child Rights is a body created to monitor the implementation of Right to Education Act at the state level. In states where SCPCR hasn't been created, RTE Act madates the creation of Right to Education Protection Authority (REPA).

SCPCR acts as an important institution to redress RTE related grievances. First step of grievance redressal is at the School Management Committee. If that does not happen, the next step would be to file a complaint to the local authority. If the grievance has still not been redressed, the complainant could appeal to the SCPCR.
