Hello, There is no legal bar merely because another school is within 1 KM. Permission is based on compliance with State Education Department norms, land use, building approval, fire safety, sanitation, and recognition requirements. The existing school cannot legally obstruct you unless there is violation of zoning rules or name duplication causing confusion. If any unlawful interference is made, you can issue notice and seek legal protection. Ensure full statutory compliance before starting operations. Regards, Florence Reddy
