Municipal government schools in Surat have seen long queues for admission for the fourth consecutive year, giving a tough run for money to their private counterparts.
The 1,250 Ekal Vidyalayas (an informal school education system) dispersed over ten districts in Kashmir Valley include 180 such schools in Baramulla, which has been the site of multiple terror attacks on civilians and security forces.
NCPCR has directed the relevant officials to issue appropriate directives and guarantee that schools refrain from punishing children who wear Rakhis, Tilak, or Mehendi during Raksha Bandhan.
