RSS affiliate demands review of Gyan Shakti schools
A group called Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh Gujarat, which is part of the RSS, has asked the government to stop policies that make education private.
They want the government to check how students are chosen for special schools called Gyan Shakti.
They also don't want any new Gyan Shakti schools to open.
The group says the government should support other good schools like Kendriya Vidyalaya and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya instead.
They think the current system is not fair and parents are losing trust in it.
