Over 150 students of Delhi Public School (DPS) in Kolkata attended an unusual two-hour class last month. The subject was not routine and the teachers were not the regular ones. They were made aware of the concept of the goods and services tax (GST) by a group of senior officials of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Central Excise).
The exercise was to educate the students about the GST and encourage them to familiarise their friends and families about the benefits of the new system. DPS Kolkata was not the only school to have such a session.
