According to a circular issued by Principal secretary to government school education department Alok Kumar states that, A delegation of parents visited the Administrative Department (School Education) complaining that some Private Schools within the Union Territory of J&K are harassing the students for non-payment of School Fees, some resort to disgracing the students during assemblies and classes and even some schools resort to corporal punishments, which is highly objectionable, it reads

The Government has taken a serious notice of it and accordingly, it is impressed upon all the Private Schools, within the Union Territory of J&K, to resist from such practices.
