Telangana Demands Financial Reports from Private Schools
The Telangana government has asked private schools that don't get any help from the government to show their financial records.
The schools are upset because they think the government shouldn't check their money if they don't get any support.
They say it's hard for them to do extra work and pay for audits when they're already struggling.
The government says it's following the rules, but the schools say the rules don't apply to them because they don't take any government money.
The schools are worried that this will make it even harder for them to run, especially since they help kids from families who can't afford expensive schools.
Telangana government has issued notices to unaided private schools demanding audited financial statements.
School managements argue that they receive no government aid and question the need for financial scrutiny.
Schools claim that mandatory audits place a disproportionate burden on them, as they operate on thin margins.
Government officials state that the notices are based on long-standing school education rules.
School representatives urge the state to clarify its position and ensure oversight doesn't turn into pressure.
