As we all are aware of the fact that
the fee of various courses has been increased by the university authorities in recent
days. This outrageous decision has been taken in the period just before the
commencement of the December exams. Although, no circular has been issued but the
increments in fee ranging from 10-30% for various courses has been notified to
their respective departments. As per the notices displayed the fee hike is
about 20,000 in BE-MBA UICET, 6,000 in BE-Chem & FT, 2,500 in Physics,
7,000 in Physics & Electronics, 1,500
in MA economics, 3,000 in BA (HS) economics, 14,000 in UIET and 20,000 in MCA. Similarly,
increments have been made in other departments also.
Friends, we must not forget that it is
the same period when the mess diet charges were increased last year. It is evident that this time is precisely
chosen to avoid any kind of resistance from the students. And also the fee is
mostly increased in the case of the students of the first year in order to
establish it in the next years without much resistance.
So we shouldn’t let ourselves be
fooled by such tactics. The issue shouldn’t be considered an issue of only the
first year students. This policy of authorities can’t be seen in isolation from
the essence of education policy of the government which lies in rapid
privatization and commercialization reducing it to a mere business. SFS appeals
to the students to join us in this struggle against these policies in general
and the fee hike in particular.
Education is not a
privilege,
Education is not a
mortgage,
Education is a right,
Come forward and defend
your fundamental right.
