Concession in school fees

I am a separate woman living with my daughters since 3 years. Divorce case is going on with my husband. I don't want my daughters to compromise on quality education. They are studying in well known school but its expenses are a bit high for me. is there any law for single mothers in which goverment provides special aids for education

It is not a legal issue, madam. There are no such special aids. You can consult the Government, through the District Collector concerned, to sanction a fee exemption.

You can file a maintenance petition for maintenance and children education expense under section 125 Cr.p.c. before the same court where this divorce case is going on.

There is no provision in law to direct the government to financially assist you or give concession in fees in this regard
