The total fee fixed for the academic year 2021-22 should be reduced by 15%. Such a ruling has been issued. The schools of all boards and all mediums have been instructed accordingly as a matter of time for the academic year 2021-22. 
In most parts of the state too, schools have been closed for a long period since March 2020 and students are being imparted online education, which has resulted in the non-utilization of some educational facilities by the students in the state.

For parents who have already paid the full fee, the additional fee should be adjusted by the school management in the next month or quarterly instalment or next year or refund the fee if it is not possible to adjust the fee in this way.
