Mira Road school issued notice over Paryushan food restrictions
The Thane district education authorities have issued a show-cause notice to Seven Square Academy in Mira Road. The action follows the school's directive instructing students not to consume or carry certain food items in their tiffin boxes during the Paryushan period, an important Jain festival.
The notice questions the school's authority to impose dietary restrictions on students based on religious observances, raising concerns about secular principles in educational institutions.
