The NGT had in 2017 directed all Delhi government and private schools, as well as colleges, to install rainwater harvesting systems on their premises within two months at their own cost. The green panel had stated that any institution that fails to install the rainwater harvesting system within the stipulated period shall be liable to pay environmental compensation of Rs 5 lakh.
The DoE had in 2019 warned at least 605 private schools in the national capital of losing their recognition if they do not deposit Rs 5 lakh environmental compensation for failing to install a rainwater harvesting system.
