Every year, the Directorate of Education, Government of Delhi, provides textbooks and financial aid to the students of government and aided schools from first to eighth grade through DBT. Students of classes 9 to 12 are given funds for books and stationery. For this year, the Delhi government has approved financial assistance of Rs 64.37 crore for the students of government and aided schools.

In addition to these financial provisions, the Cabinet has approved setting up of PMUs for two firms of reputed Chartered Accountants nominated NICSI to examine the fee hike proposal of recognized private schools on government land in Delhi. This will help in speedy resolution of the fee increase proposal submitted by schools for the session 2018-19 and 2019-20.
