As the schools are charging from their students twenty rupees for the purpose of Har Ghar Tiranga. Students are demanding from their parents, twenty rupees that their school administration demanded for the purpose.
Now, the moot question arises for consideration is that whether any order passed by the Government enjoined upon the schools to charged twenty rupees from students. In counterpart Kashmir one of the Chief Education Officer on the compliance of his Zonal Education officer directed the students of the schools to paid twenty rupees for Har Ghar Tiranga. In pursuance to this such impugned order there is widespread backlash on the social media where in even former CM also reacted sharply to this order which forced the students to paid twenty rupees. Not only that after public outcry order has been set aside by the CEO then.
Parents in Jammu while talking to the Hidden News launching scathing attack upon the School administration that they of their own charged twenty rupees when there is no such order by the government, they rued adding, when in Kashmir schools are not charging twenty rupees so why we would paid these schools administration twenty rupees, parents fumes over the arbitrary diktat of the schools that they under the garb of Har Ghar Tiranga initiative for their ulterior motives charging twenty rupees from their students which is really astonishing and baffling rather schools administration in order to swindled money they are charging twenty rupees, they lamented.

“By charging twenty rupees from every student from class nursery till Class 12th in the private schools in particular parents regretted adding, where they have to install the Tirangas on their schools’ roof atop but thousands of students are studying in respective schools so buying Tiranga from the money of respective students that is twenty rupees which the respective students gave. Where shall those Tirangas be affixed, parents asked this million-dollar question which begs answer?
Har Ghar Tiranga is a initiative of the Indian government to affixed flags on the atop of the homes of the whole public in run upto the Independence Day 15th August 2022 in order to invoke the sense of patriotism amongst the public at large.
Parents opined that it is beyond one’s comprehension as to why the students being told to shell out money twenty rupees adding, for which the government needs to come clear on it and not grope parents in dark. Students enrolled in the government schools are poorer as such they face precarious situation to pay the twenty rupees.
