MP Bhopal Collector Orders Action Against Educational Institutions Forcing Students to Buy School Stuff from Particular Shops
The Bhopal Collector in Madhya Pradesh has issued an order directing action against educational institutions that force their students to buy school-related materials from specific shops. The order was issued after several complaints were received from parents and students about the practice.
The order stated that schools and colleges cannot force their students to buy books, uniforms, or any other materials from specific shops. It further stated that educational institutions should only recommend certain shops to their students but not force them to buy from those shops.
