After numerous complaints, the deputy director of school education has issued an order to the education officer (central) of Raigad, instructing him to conduct a thorough re-investigation in the case involving a Kharghar school withholding documents of two students due to non-payment of fees. The school’s action has resulted in these students missing out on four academic years.

The Harmony School, located in Kharghar’s Sector 36, in 2018-19 allegedly did not allow a student to appear for the SSC board exam and even withheld her school leaving certificate. The school meted out the same treatment to her younger sister, who was in Std V at the time.
