Updated on: Wednesday, April 22, 2009

New Delhi: Delhi Government cautioned not to effect any increase in fee without following the laid down procedures.

Delhi Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said the schools could hike fee only after getting due approval from the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) meeting.

Lovely said this when a delegation of All India Parents Association met him to discuss the fee hike issue.

He further clarified that parents may ask the school authorities to hold a PTA meeting in case schools are reluctant to convene it.

The Minister said the schools have been directed to convene meeting of the PTA and decide issue of fee hike in a transparent manner explaining exact position of their balance sheet.

Lovely said those schools, which have already effected fee hike without convening the meeting of PTA would have to convene the meeting at the earliest and take an appropriate decision.

The minister further stated that his department has been taking immediate action on submission of any complaint regarding the fee hike.
