He also demanded exemption of private schools from commercial and labour laws, deployment of police personal at the main gate of all schools functioning in the State, grant complete autonomy to the managements while appointment of teaching and non teaching staff, install leaders of Private Schools Association from Jammu division in governing board, fix upper limit of fee so that a school can fix its fee in consultation with the parents accordingly, provide soft loans and subsidies for the expansion and creation of modern facilities, promote single window clearance system and stern action against schools functioning without providing healthy infrastructure or running classes without recognition or clubbing or running unauthorized dummy classes.
