Ranchi Schools to Publicize Fee Committee Details
The education department in Ranchi is making private schools show the names and contact info of their fee and parent committees.
This is to help parents by making things more open about school fees.
Schools must get approval from these committees before raising fees, especially if the increase is more than 10%.
If schools don't follow the rules, they'll get a warning or notice.
This is all part of a plan to stop unfair practices related to fees.
The goal is to give parents a way to voice their concerns about costs.
Ranchi's education department ordered private schools to display fee committee details.
The directive aims to increase transparency in school administration.
Parents can now directly raise concerns about fees with committee members.
Schools cannot raise fees without the committee's consensus.
Non-compliant schools will face warnings and possible show-cause notices.
