Rajasthan govt restricts entry of outsiders, photography and interviews as CJP plans school visits

The Rajasthan government has imposed new regulations on unauthorised entry to state-run schools, barring outsiders from visiting without permission. These rules also prohibit photography, live streaming, and collection of personal information. The circular, issued on the same day as CJP Ashutosh Ranka announced his School Thik Karo campaign, aims to protect students' privacy and school safety.

The government's directive has drawn criticism from opposition politicians, who accuse the BJP of attempting to hide dilapidated school conditions. The move is justified by the principle of "in loco parentis" and aims to comply with child rights laws.
