Monsoon Session: Delhi Assembly Targets School Fee Hike Regulation

The Delhi Assembly's monsoon session is scheduled to commence on August 4, potentially featuring a pivotal bill aimed at regulating fee hikes by private schools. This initiative is backed by the BJP-led government, promising significant legislative activity over its five-day course.

A key highlight of the session is the anticipated debate over the Delhi School Education Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees Bill, 2025. This proposal seeks to impose strict penalties on schools that arbitrarily increase fees, even revoking their right to propose future revisions. Heated discussions are expected between BJP and AAP on this topic.

Complementing the legislative agenda, the National e-Vidhan Application is making progress, offering digital access to proceedings and documents, thus enhancing the digitization process. Chief Whip Abhay Verma indicated plans to showcase the government's achievements and focus on public welfare issues during the session.
