Over 10 schools fined for flouting fee regulation norms, minister tells Assembly

The state government has till date fined more than 10 schools for violating fee regulation rules, Minister of State for Education Rivaba Jadeja said on Tuesday.

She was speaking during a discussion on a starred question raised by Aam Aadmi Party MLA Hemant Ahir in the Question Hour.

Ahir sought to know if the fine amount of Rs 2.50 lakh imposed on a Jamnagar-based School, P V Modi High School, was recovered or not. In reply, the minister said the amount has been recovered.
