Govt will ensure quality education fro all children: CM Gupta
A day after Delhi Assembly passed a bill to curb arbitrary fees hikes by private schools, chief minister Rekha Gupta on Friday assured parents that the Delhi government will ensure quality education for every child in the capital, pledging to make private schools more accessible while curbing arbitrary fee hikes. CM Rekha Gupta (X) Delhi Assembly passed the Delhi School Education (Fee Determination and Transparency in Regulation) Bill, 2025 on Friday. Gupta said the legislation would 'lay a new foundation of transparency, justice, and accountability' in the education sector and end years of unchecked practices by private schools. 'There are 1,733 private schools in Delhi. Nearly 300 of them were allotted land at concessional rates by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), but most came up because previous governments failed to create enough quality government schools. Our aim is to ensure that children from all sections can study in these schools without their parents being crushed under excessive fees,' CM said. The Bill, she said, has been drafted after consultations with parents and education experts. It introduces parental veto powers over fee hikes, a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism, and fines ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹10 lakh for violations — doubling if overcharged amounts are not refunded promptly. Schools will now have to justify fees based on location, facilities, expenditure, and quality of teaching. In a key provision, the Director of Education will get powers equivalent to a Sub-Divisional Magistrate, enabling them to freeze bank accounts and attach properties of schools found guilty of arbitrary fee increases. The rules will apply to all private schools in Delhi, not just those with DDA land, CM said. 'This Bill is a shield for the dreams of Delhi's children. We will remove the shadow of profiteering from education and ensure that no child is deprived of learning because of poverty. No one will be allowed to put a price on their aspirations,' CM said.

Delhi assembly ends 3rd session of 9th legislative assembly as three bills passed
The Delhi Assembly wrapped up its third session of the eighth legislative assembly on Friday after 19 hours and 40 minutes of deliberations spread over five sittings from August 4 to 8 during the monsoon session, speaker Vijender Gupta said on Saturday. CM Rekha Gupta and cabinet ministers during an assembly session. (HT Photo) Describing the session as 'productive and meaningful', Gupta highlighted the passage of three major bills and discussions on urgent civic issues. The House passed the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Bill, 2025, tabled by education minister Ashish Sood, and two GST amendment bills moved by chief minister Rekha Gupta. The education bill was debated over two days, with 24 members participating, before being passed by voice vote. The CM called it a 'landmark move to protect parents', while describing the GST amendments as measures to 'bring relief to thousands of traders'. The Delhi school education bill aimed at curbing 'arbitrary' fee hikes by private schools seeks to establish a long-term framework for protecting the interests of parents and students. Covering all 1,677 private unaided schools in the capital, it introduces a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism, mandates parental involvement in fee decisions, and prescribes penalties of up to ₹10 lakh for violations. The Delhi Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2025, according to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, is designed to simplify tax administration, enhance compliance, and provide significant relief to businesses and taxpayers across the city. Gupta said the House also discussed Delhi's water crisis and the condition of several hospitals. Two calling attention motions were taken up, one on reconstructing a dilapidated hospital in Mustafabad, raised by deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht and answered by health minister Pankaj Kumar Singh, and another on the water crisis, raised by Jitender Mahajan and replied to by water minister Parvesh Sahib Singh. In all, 171 special mention notices were received under Rule 280, with 62 taken up in the House and referred to departments for replies within 30 days. The Assembly also passed congratulatory motions for astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's mission to the International Space Station, the launch of the NISAR satellite, and the success of Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev, commending the Prime Minister, Union ministers, armed forces, and intelligence agencies. One of the session's most striking moments came when Speaker Gupta raised concerns over the controversial 'Phansi Ghar', inaugurated in 2022 'without historical evidence'. He said ₹1.04 crore was spent on its construction, leading to tampering with a heritage building and 'misleading the public'. He noted that no authentic evidence was presented by the Opposition during the debate. On his orders, the 'Phansi Ghar' was renamed 'Tiffin Kaksh' to restore the distorted history. Several key reports were tabled during the session, including the CAG's audit on construction workers' welfare, referred to the Public Accounts Committee, and the financial statements of the Delhi government and regulatory bodies. Gupta said the House had 'upheld transparency, accountability, and historical integrity' and reinforced its 'unwavering commitment to the people of Delhi and the values of the Constitution.'

Bengaluru lake activists say shrinking buffer zone disastrous for tech capital
Bengaluru: Reducing the lake buffer zone in Bengaluru will only invite more urban flooding and increase dependency on outsourcing water from different sources, according to land and water experts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Experts and lake activists have questioned the govt on why buffer zones should be reduced and are now asking Karnataka Conservation and Development Authority (KTCDA) to list the benefits of shrinking the buffer zone for the city. The Karnataka govt had recently approved Karnataka Tank Conservation and Development Authority (Amendment) Bill-2025, reducing buffer zones around lakes from the existing 30 meters to between 3 and 24 meters, depending on the lake size. Lake activists, while discussing the proposal during a public consultation organised at Bengaluru Town Hall, led by the actor and activist Prakash Belawadi, Saturday, feared the move will increase concretisation and shrink waterbodies further. Quotes TV Ramachandra, convener, IISc Environmental Information System Buffer zones or floodplains are vital as they absorb excess water, prevent flooding, and allow natural remediation. They should be kept green so that no construction is allowed, but instead of protecting them, we see them being choked, narrowed, and swallowed by vested interests, a move that will only worsen flooding and destroy Bengaluru's livability. V R Hegde, hydrologist Buffer zones around lakes and streams are hydrologically essential. Reducing them disrupts natural drainage, increases flood risk, and destroys ecological services these waterbodies provide. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Waterbodies are endowments from our forefathers, not our creations, and we have no right to demolish or vanish them. Shyam Prasad, founder and director of Clean Water Dynamics and hydrologist If we don't have buffer zones we will have shoreline erosion, fragmented infrastructure, poor water quality, sedimentation… It is really beyond me to understand who is coming up with further reduction of these zones. Prakash Belawadi, actor and activist We will be taking all the required inputs from experts and citizens to compile solid proof, data, and information to fight the proposed amendment in the near future
