Jammu, 20 April. Amit Kapoor, President of Parents Association Jammu, has said that the five members of JKFFRC have increased the annual charges of private schools in the name of under-table new entrance charges two months ago and have not even uploaded their orders on the website so that parents can be misled about it. At the same time, parents are being harassed and looted heavily. He said that this exposes the under-table collusion and deal between the five members of JKFFRC and private schools. This shows that an under-table deal of crores has been done between them. He has demanded a CBI inquiry into this entire matter and has also asked to investigate the properties of these five members. Amit Kapoor said this while addressing a press conference in Jammu. He said that JKFFRC has increased these charges in the name of new entrance fees by flouting the orders of Supreme Court, High Court and its own orders and the surprising thing is that these orders have not been uploaded on the website so that parents do not get any information about it and also Amit Kapoor, the president of Jammu Parents Association, who is fighting against their arbitrariness, does not get any information. This is because if Amit Kapoor gets to know about it, he will raise his voice against it and make parents aware so that JKFFRC and private schools will come on the back foot. Amit Kapoor said that Supreme Court, High Court and even JKFFRC have issued orders that no school can charge annual fees. He alleged that in this case, the five members of JKFFRC have made a deal of crores of rupees under the table with these schools and have issued these orders in the name of new entrance charges by ignoring all the orders. Amit Kapoor took the five members of JKFFRC to task and said that their properties should be investigated and the whole matter should be investigated by the CBI. Along with this, he has also made serious allegations against JKFFRC member JKBOSE's secretary Manisha Sareen, who has been working as a member for the last several years, and said that during her tenure, many chairmen of JKFFRC have been changed and she is well aware of everything. Apart from this, JKBOSE directors Ashok Kumar Sharma, Shaukat Ahmed Mir, Senior CA and Chairman Sunil Hale were also questioned. He said that it is possible that Piyush Singla may not be aware of the collusion of these members, but he asked how he signed for this. He said that this clearly shows that they have done a big deal under the table with private schools, so the whole matter should be investigated by the CBI. Amit Kapoor made a sensational disclosure and cited DPS Jammu in this matter. He said that this school has declared its income as Rs 19 crore without transport in its audit report, out of which Rs 13 crore has been spent as salary of employees. The fees of this school have also been increased from Rs 2700 to Rs 4000 in the name of new entrance fee but this has also not been uploaded on the website. At the same time, this school has declared an expenditure of Rs 1 crore 45 lakh 3 thousand 314 for advertisement whereas according to the order no school can advertise itself and here also the orders have been violated. Apart from this, Rs 1 crore 10 lakh 6 thousand 228 has been declared in the name of refreshment and entertainment.
The new entrance charges of this school have been increased to Rs 4000 and there are 4200 children in this school. Whereas according to the order of the Supreme Court, private schools cannot take admission fees and cannot take annual fees in advance. According to the number of children in this school, it requires 150 employees which include teachers, non-teachers, principal, watchman, peon etc. As per the expenses shown by them, the salary of one employee is more than 72 thousand. So, the question arises whether the employees of DPS school are getting this much salary. Amit Kapoor said that the salary of a teacher in this school can be from 25 to 30 thousand while the management staff can also get 25 to 30 thousand and the peon can get 10 to 15 thousand while the principal can get more.Amit Kapoor said that there are many schools in Jammu and Kashmir which run in the name of trusts and they get tax exemption from the government, while many are defrauding the government treasury by evading taxes by presenting such figures. And along with this, the chairman of JKFFRC, by playing legal tricks, tells these schools ways to evade taxes and in connivance with other members, makes deals of crores of rupees with them under the table. Amit Kapoor alleged that this is a scam of crores of rupees and government officials are also involved in it, so this case is completely fit for investigation by the CBI. Therefore, this case should be investigated by the CBI and along with that the properties of the chairman of JKFFRC and its members should also be investigated.
