Regulatory Lapses Allow Schools To Impose Fee Hikes Unchecked
New Delhi: Even as fee hikes by private unaided schools operating on govt or DDA-allotted land recorded significant increases, Delhi govt's regulatory system showed little active enforcement of rules about the matter. An analysis of govt records over the past eight years reveals glaring lapses in oversight and enforcement of rules meant to regulate such increases. The data from academic sessions 2016-17 to 2023-24 in particular highlights the weakening enforcement of rules that require these schools to obtain prior approval before increasing fees. While there was a rise in the number of schools submitting fee hike proposals, there was a sharp decline in the proportion of these proposals being rejected by the state govt, especially from the academic year 2019-20 onwards. In the initial years — between 2016 and 2019 — a considerable number of proposals were turned down, with rejection rates ranging between 69% and 75%. This suggested an active oversight mechanism. Post-2019, however, that oversight appears to have deteriorated. The rejection percentage dipped from 75.3% in the 2018-19 academic session to 59.4% in 2019-20. It further slipped in the following years to 36.1% in 2022-23 and 32.1% in 2023-24. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Car Insurance Rates Are Dropping - Find Out If You're Overpaying AutoSaveMax Get Quote Undo Out of 262 schools that applied for fee hikes in 2023-24, decisions were made only in 28 cases, most of them approving the increases. The rest remained undecided, effectively allowing schools to go ahead with their proposed hikes in the absence of regulatory intervention and essentially defeating the purpose of requiring a prior approval. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi In the academic years 2020–21 and 2021–22, fee hikes were prohibited entirely by a govt order due to the Covid pandemic. Queries sent to AAP regarding the alleged lapses went unanswered. The current state dispensation has blamed the previous AAP administration for what it describes as a "systemic failure" in fee regulation. "In 2024–25, AAP couldn't decide on proposals from 244 schools because its functionaries were busy with elections and extortion. Let's go back to 2023–24. That year, 262 schools submitted their proposals online. AAP govt approved only 19, rejected 9, with the decisions taken on just these 28 proposals. That means 234 schools out of 262 were left waiting without a decision," education minister Ashish Sood claimed. Citing a steady fall in rejection rates after 2019, an education official said, "Out of nearly 350 schools that operate on govt or DDA land, very few even submitted fee hike proposals over the past several years. The ones that did faced less and less scrutiny." The official added that many more schools — over 1,400 operating on private land or govt land without the 'land clause' —were left entirely unregulated, with no mechanism in place to track or audit their fee hikes for nearly a decade. Another key lapse, according to the current administration, was the failure to act on a proposal made by the previous govt in Nov 2023 to link fee hikes to the consumer price index. According to an official, the idea was to make the process more transparent and objective. But despite the proposal being floated, no decision was taken on it until Feb this year, by which time a new govt had assumed office. The most recent academic cycle saw a legal bottleneck. For 2024-25, the Directorate of Education issued a circular in March inviting fresh fee hike proposals, but this was stayed by Delhi High Court. The circular stated that no recognised private unaided school in the capital, which has been allotted land by govt agencies, would enhance the fees for the 2024-25 session without the prior sanction of DoE. As a result, the regulatory process continues to be in limbo. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Rakhi sales dip as online orders & competing stalls hit vendors
Hyderabad: With Raksha Bandhan just a day away, traditional rakhi sellers across the city are struggling to keep their businesses afloat, reporting up to a 60% drop in sales compared to the pre-Covid years. The dual blow of quick-commerce platforms and a growing number of competing shops has thinned their profits and dampened festive spirit on the streets. "Sales have collapsed after the lockdown," said K Raju, 41, who has been selling rakhis at street stalls for more than two decades. "Before the pandemic, business was decent. Now we're seeing a 70% decline. We can't match the speed of quick-commerce, so we barely manage to break even." Even as footfall in markets hasn't entirely dried up, stall owners say it's the distribution of customers that's changed. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad "A few years ago, there would be just two or three shops like ours in an area. Today, the same number of buyers is split across six or seven vendors," said Vishwanath Chuleti, 49, who joined the business at the age of 14. "So even if people are still coming, the per-vendor sales have flattened." The shift to online shopping , particularly by working professionals, is also hurting physical stores. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Effortless Glucose Monitoring: Request a Free Trial Dexcom Click Here Undo "Office-goers prefer convenience. Instead of braving traffic, they simply order rakhis online, sometimes even on the day of Rakhi," said a retail store owner. "Quick-commerce delivers in hours, and we can't match that." Despite the lure of joining online platforms, small businesses remain wary. "Partnering with e-commerce giants may bring visibility, but we risk losing our loyal customer base," the vendor added. In Begum Bazaar, a traditional wholesale hub, the sentiment is no different. One shopkeeper noted a dramatic dip in bulk orders from rural suppliers. "Five years ago, small-town retailers would buy rakhis worth Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 per visit," he said. "Now, they barely spend Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000." His son, who manages an adjacent stall, said the situation is worsened by rising production costs. "The price of raw materials like pearls and threads has gone up. Artisans are also charging more for their work," he said. In a bid to survive, they've shifted from word-of-mouth promotion to YouTube marketing, but scaling up to other platforms remains a challenge. "We know the world is moving online, but many of us don't have the tools or digital literacy to keep up," he admitted. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

‘Harrowing night for us; trade in state of shock': Exporters recall moment US imposed 50% tariff
Exporters didn't get much sleep on Wednesday night with their phones ringing off the hook as frantic US buyers kept calling. The conversations weren't pleasant. Orders were put on hold or cancelled after US President Donald Trump doubled the tariff on Indian goods to 50%. Fielding Calls Late into the Night At the receiving end were garment, textile, shrimp and gems and jewellery exporters.

'The buyers had asked us to take a burden of 15% tariff when it was at 25% level. Now they say they can't take any of the 50% tariff load. We are not making some unique products which can't be sourced from elsewhere,' said the CEO, his voice heavy with worry, given that the business is at risk as is the livelihood of about 8,000 factory workers. ET Bureau He didn't want his identity to be revealed as the banks he's borrowed from could be next on the phone. ALSO READ: Indian FMCG giants mull new manufacturing units for exports to US as tariffs bite Thomas Jose, a third-generation exporter of shrimp products to the US, was on calls with buyers late into the night with most of them asking him to stop shipments. This was the refrain, he said: 'We can't accept anything that has even 1% higher duty above 25%, accepting 50% duty is out of question.' Jose is a director at Kerala-based Choice Group, which clocks annual exports of ₹900 crore, most of it to the US. Live Events India's seafood exports to the US were worth ₹24,000 crore in FY25 ALSO READ: US tariffs may cost India's electronics sector up to $30 billion Vijay Kumar Mangukiya, managing director of Surat-based export house Dhani Jewels, was also on the phone until late. 'Last night I got calls from my US buyers asking whether we could renegotiate prices of diamonds, despite knowing the Trump government has put an extra tariff of 25%. We told them that had the tariff been only 25% we would have negotiated and absorbed a portion of the cost. But at 50% tariff it is impossible to do that,' Mangukiya said. 'The US buyers told us that they will have a discussion with the retail jewellers and customers, whether they are ready to pay extra for diamonds. However, if they pressurise us, we will have no choice but to cancel the order.' Some orders went to a neighbouring country on which the US has imposed a lower tariff. 'I was about to get a purchase order for 2 lakh pieces of trousers from a US buyer. He called me around midnight and asked me if I will be able to bear this additional 25% increase in tariffs. When I said no, he decided to shift the order to Bangladesh,' said one of the country's top 10 apparel exporters who wanted to remain anonymous. To be sure, US buyers are also caught in a bind as the festive season for that country is approaching, so shifting orders is fraught with difficulty. The US accounts for 28% of the annual apparel and textile exports from India, worth a total of about ₹87,525 crore in 2024. 'With 50% tariff, it is period. The trade is in a state of shock,' said Vijay Agarwal, chairman, The Cotton Textile Export Promotion Council (Texprocil). Manufacturers at the garment hub of Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu export goods worth about ₹21,000 crore annually to the US. They've got merchandise worth about ₹3,000 crore, including fabric, finished and unfinished goods, in their inventory that could soon become a liability. 'The patient is in a coma--no treatment is available,' said Kumar Duraiswamy, joint secretary of the Tiruppur Exporters' Association (TEA). 'Ship only those goods that you can load by August 27. Put on hold everything else,' Duraiswamy cited buyers as saying. While the initial 25% duty takes effect on August 7, the additional 25% levy will come into force after 21 days, according to Trump's Executive Order issued on Wednesday. 'We have started slowing down production, we can stop cutting fabric. But the goods which are in the pipeline and in the sewing process, must be produced,' said Premal Udani, managing director, Kaytee Corp. and former chairman of the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC). 'This was not expected. It is an astronomical rate. A tariff of 50% is backbreaking.' Adil Kotwal, president of the Seepz Gems & Jewellery Manufacturers Association, said that US buyers put orders on hold immediately after the 50% tariff announcement. 'Some said that they are hopeful of the tariff coming down on August 27, others said going ahead they will make selective buying,' he said. 'All are seeking clarity at the moment. However, there are no orders for September and October from the US at the 200 exporting units in Seepz (Santacruz Electronic Export Processing Zone), which employs 100,000 people and exports jewellery worth ₹20,000 crore to the US.' The 800,000 people who work in the diamond centre of Surat are nervous about the future. 'It had been a harrowing night for us when we came to know about the 50% US tariff,' said Vinay Patel, a worker at a Surat diamond cutting and polishing unit. 'All of us went to our factories early in the morning to know whether our jobs were there or not. Till now, the units have not informed us of anything, but the tension continues.'
