The upcoming monsoon session of the Delhi Assembly, starting August 4, is set to be a battleground for heated discussions. The BJP-led government plans to table a bill aimed at regulating fee hikes in private schools, a move that is expected to stir debate across party lines.
In a push towards a paperless future, the session will leverage the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA), enhancing digital access to legislative business. This technological step is expected to streamline the proceedings and access to documents.
The proposed Delhi School Education Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees Bill, 2025, is at the center of controversy. The ordinance outlines strict penalties for schools arbitrarily increasing fees, with fines reaching up to Rs 10 lakh for repeat offenses. Criticism from the AAP highlights failures in government promises, such as power cuts and rising school fees.
