Neither are the schools listed on the web page. The fees are actually listed there. I have no idea how they compare to the fees for other private schools in India, but I would suspect that they aren't inexpensive. I would suspect, in fact, the opposite. > But I'm sure the community was happy to have the school. Think how much happier they would've been if the school really *had* been free, if the movement that talked about wanting to save the world *had* been willing to put its own money where its mouth is and actually help a few people for free for a change. If the TM organization had a well-established history of doing such things, I don't think I would be suspicious of this web page. But it doesn't, and I am.
