Parents came out to protest against capitation money

  • | Tuesday | 22nd June, 2021

Parents under the banner of All Students’ and Parents’ Welfare Association said that the DEO had not been taking any action as the issue was sub-judice so far.

A protest outside the district education officer’s (DEO) office on Monday morning demanding that DEO take a decision on the school’s action of taking capitation money, was staged by parents of students studying in a private school in the Athwalines area.

Parents under the banner of All Students’ and Parents’ Welfare Association said that the DEO had not been taking any action as the issue was sub-judice so far.

“The school had moved the high court against the DEO’s earlier probe report that it had collected capitation money, but the high court last week gave an order in our favour,” said Chirag Thakkar, president of the association.

He added that the DEO’s earlier probe had concluded that the school had collected capitation money. “Since the issue is no more sub-judice we want the DEO to bring a final decision in 10 days otherwise we will sit on a dharna,” Thakkar said.

The parents have alleged that the school will have to pay crores of rupees as fine as it had been collecting capitation fees since 2005.
