During meeting, the representatives of different zones of private schools of far-flung area of district Ramban highlighted various issues before Executive Members of the central body.
The speakers said that all private schools functioning in far flung and rural area of Ramban are contributing 50 per cent games fund to Department of Youth Services and Sports (DYSS) like Government institutions. But the department never provided any type of sports kit to private institutions in district Ramban, they alleged.
