Shut corporate colleges flouting regulations

Tank Bund: Activists of Girijan Shakthi staged protest at Dr Ambedkar statue here on Monday, demanding that the state government shut down all the unauthorised branches of corporate colleges such as Narayana and Sri Chaitanya. They displayed a memorandum with various demands in this regard at the statue.

Speaking on the occasion, president of Girijan Shakthi Rajesh Naik said that they have been fighting against corporate colleges which are running several branches without government permission. He said that they have submitted memoranda in this regard to Inter Board secretary and DEOs and demanded action against the colleges.

Recalling the CM KCR's promise during Telangana agitation that he would shut down all the corporate colleges in the state, he condemned the CM's inaction in this regard. Rajesh said that they submitted the memorandum to the statue of Dr Ambedkar as their appeals in this regard were not responded. He warned that they would conduct rallies before Pragathi Bhavan and Inter Board if the action is not taken against the erring colleges.

Founder president of Girijan Shakthi Dr Venkatesh Chouhan, working president Sharath Naik, state leaders Upender Naik and other activists participated in the protest.
