The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Zilla Parishad (ZP) has mandated that all private aided, unaided, and self-financed secondary and higher secondary schools in the district complete comprehensive financial, structural, and safety audits by June 15. This directive, issued by ZP CEO Minnu PM, affects around 1,307 private institutions, with inspection teams already established to ensure compliance. ZP education officer Ashwini Lathkar emphasized the importance of schools being prepared for these inspections, highlighting the need for proper documentation and records. The financial audits will scrutinize government grant utilization, account records, expenditure statements, salary disbursal, and fee collection. Structural audits will focus on safety certificates, classroom conditions, and emergency exits, while safety audits will evaluate security measures such as CCTV and disaster management protocols. The initiative has been positively received by parents, who believe it is essential for holding private schools accountable and ensuring student safety. They expressed hope that the ZP will take appropriate action against any institutions found lacking during these audits.
