Ashish Modi, Director of Secondary Education noted that some private schools in the state are not fully adhering to the academic calendar. Despite the onset of winter, these schools are operating early in the morning, adversely affecting students' health. If any private school fails to comply with the calendar, action will be taken under the Rajasthan Non-Government Educational Institutions Act. This may include revocation of the school’s recognition, as per the local media reports.
