After implementation, many good private schools were closed because of license and procedure requirement. 

Parents mindset about the migration of students from government to private school. One of its results was in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh around 24000 gov. school closed. 
This clearly defines status of government schools in India which is very poor compared to other countries.
