Gujarat Government Tightens School Entry Rules and Restricts Unauthorised Photography

Analysed 22 Oct 2026·11 sources analysed·Gujarat, India·Politics
Gujarat Government Tightens School Entry Rules and Restricts Unauthorised PhotographyPreviousNext

The Gujarat government has issued new guidelines requiring prior written permission from school principals for outsiders to enter school premises, excluding authorised government officials. Schools must maintain visitor registers and restrict unauthorised photography, videography, and collection of students' personal information to protect safety, privacy, and dignity. Access to classrooms and other student activity areas also requires approval, and principals can deny entry to visitors who may disrupt security or discipline. Violations may lead to legal action and reporting to authorities.
