Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has issued a stern warning to private schools in Delhi regarding the sale of uniforms and school supplies. A recent directive from the Directorate of Education (DoE) prohibits schools from compelling parents to purchase items from designated vendors, addressing complaints of inflated prices. The directive mandates that once a uniform design is finalized, it must remain unchanged for at least three years. Additionally, schools are expected to function on a 'no profit, no loss' basis, ensuring that they only cover actual costs without generating surplus. Gupta emphasized that schools must clearly communicate to parents that they are free to buy uniforms and supplies from any vendor, with no coercion allowed. Inspections will be conducted to enforce compliance, and strict action will be taken against schools that violate these guidelines, which may include takeover if necessary. This initiative follows widespread parental concerns about rising costs of school supplies.
