Analysed 22 Oct 2026·5 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 government school premises. Visitors must register their details, and only authorised government officials are exempt. The rules also restrict unauthorised photography, videography, and collection of students' personal data to protect their safety, privacy, and dignity. School authorities can deny entry to visitors who may disrupt security or discipline, and must report violations to relevant authorities.
