General Secretary of the J& K Private Schools Association Jammu, Ajay Gupta, who represented as convener of North Region, said that the Increase in number of formalities by the Government on the one hand and declaring unaided private schools non profitable on the other hand will definitely stop the development of private schools and their functioning in newly created UTs of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh .
