Bill regulating fees in private schools to bring greater transparency, accountability: Delhi CM
Delhi government is committed to ensuring quality education for every child in the national capital, and the recently-passed Bill to regulate fees in private schools will bring greater transparency and accountability in the institutions, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday. Addressing a press conference, Gupta said the Delhi School Education (Fee Determination and Transparency in Regulation) Bill, 2025, which was passed in Delhi Assembly on Friday, seeks to prevent arbitrary fee hikes and make private schools accessible to children from all sections of society, including those from underprivileged backgrounds. 'There are 1,733 private schools in Delhi, nearly 300 of which were given land at concessional rates by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA),' Gupta said. 'Under the new law, the director of education will have powers equivalent to those of a sub-divisional magistrate to take action against schools violating norms, including freezing bank accounts and attaching property,' she added. The chief minister said the provisions will apply to all the private schools in Delhi, not just those allotted DDA land, and that fines ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh will be imposed for unauthorised fee hikes, with the penalty doubling in case of delayed payment. Gupta said the Bill was drafted after consultations with education experts and parents, with a focus on protecting parents' interests without putting undue pressure on the schools. Criticising the previou AAP government, she alleged that despite tall claims of an education revolution, the sector was plagued by corruption and inefficiency. 'If you were truly concerned about education, why didn't you create a legal framework to control school fees in the past 27 years,' she asked the AAP and the Congress, which were in power during that period. The chief minister also said that schools will now have to justify any proposed fee hike based on factors such as location, facilities, expenditure, and teaching quality, and that parents will have the veto power over such increases. 'This Bill is a shield for the dreams of Delhi's children. No one will be allowed to put a price on their aspirations,' she added.

The conspiracy to break India's joint family system that boomeranged
Whenfamilies break, markets flourish — this is not just a thought, but a complete strategy. Modernity or hidden slavery-What was India's strongest asset? Mughals, British, and many invaders came, but one thing remained unbroken — our joint family system. This was our real "social security". We did not need pensions, no loneliness, no mental health crisis. Why did the West start disliking this? Western countries are colonialists — their biggest religion is the market. But a country like India, where people share, spend less, and think collectively — they couldn't sell their products here. So, a clever strategy was devised: "Break their families, make everyone lonely, and everyone will become a customer." How was this attack carried out? Media portrayed joint families as "quarrelsome", "burdensome", and "obstacles", while nuclear families were glamorised as "freedom", "modern", and "self-made". Remember: How many TV shows portray mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fights, with the solution being "separate!"? Consumerism: When every couple started living separately: 1 family = 4 houses 1 TV = 4 TVs 1 kitchen = 4 kitchen sets 1 car = 4 scooters + 2 cars The market boomed, and society crumbled. What happened in India after this "thoughtful attack"? Social degradation: Elderly are now burdens; Children are lonely (and lost in screens); Relatives are "unavailable"; Influencers replaced sanskars. Mental health crisis: What was once discussed with grandparents is now discussed with counselors; Loneliness now requires treatment, earlier it was cured with love. Market benefits: Every problem has a product; Every emotion has an app; Every festival has an "online order"; Subscription has replaced sanskar. Today's question — what are we becoming? In the race of "modernity", we: Called joint families "outdated"; Called parents "obstacles"; Called family "unnecessary emotions"; Unfollowed relationships But have you thought? Amazon benefits only when you're alone on Diwali — shopping, not sitting with family. Zomato earns only when someone isn't eating their mother's food. Netflix is watched only when someone isn't listening to their grandmother's stories. Solution: We can still return: Consider joint families as "assets", not burdens. Raise children as sanskari individuals, not consumers. Don't throw elderly out of homes. Their experience is above every Google search. Celebrate festivals, not products. Increase affection, not apps, to reduce loneliness. Conclusion: The West broke families for trade, and we sold our existence to become modern. It's time to stop, think, and re-adopt our sanskars or the next generation might need Google to understand the meaning of "joint family".
