Delhi Replaces Essentiality Certificate with Self-Certification

The Delhi government has made it easier to open private schools.

Before, schools needed a special certificate called an Essentiality Certificate to prove they were needed.

Now, schools can just fill out a form themselves.

This change removes old rules that caused delays and makes sure schools meet important standards like having good buildings, safe environments, and qualified teachers.

The government also relaxed the land requirements to help schools be built closer to where people live.

The goal is to make sure all children in Delhi can go to good schools.
