Indore: The Indore district administration on Friday imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh each on two private schools for forcing parents to buy uniforms and textbooks from an exclusive shop.
District Education Officer Manglesh Kumar Vyas said one school was selling uniforms and textbooks itself, while the other had asked parents to buy them from only two shops.
He said that after complaints from parents, a show cause notice has been issued to the school management.
Vyas said, since the response to the notice was not satisfactory, Collector Ashish Singh imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh each on both the schools under the Madhya Pradesh Private Schools (Regulation of Fees and Related Matters) Act.
He told that the fine will have to be paid within seven days.
