Corporate institutions fleecing students

Khammam: The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of various student organisations on Monday strongly opposed the establishment of corporate educational institutions in Khammam district.

Stating the meeting JAC, district convenor Avula Ashok alleged that some of the Corporate educational institutions like Sri Chatanya, Narayana and Akash are trying to establish their branches in the Khammam district to rob the innocent parents by collecting lakhs of rupees in the name of fees from the students.

Quoting Einstein, he said, “The main purpose and aim of an educational institution must be all round development of students but should not manufacture such students by exerting pressure on them to get settled in any one sector they are not interested in.”

But all the corporate educational institutions nowadays instead of focusing on all round development of students running the institutions for earning money, he added.

By deploying public relation officers and middlemen, the corporate institutions are trapping the innocent parents and students and are collecting lakhs of rupees from them without providing minimum basic facilities, he said.

The officials of the Education department are also behaving negligently in taking actions against such colleges violating rules and regulations, he said.

He reiterated that the students union JAC strongly opposes the establishment of corporate educational institution in the district and agitations would be carried out against them if they stubbornly establish their branches in Khammam.

The members of the students union JAC, T Nagaraju (SFI), J Ranjith Kumar (AISF), N Azad (PDSU), D Sumanth (TNSF), Bajibabu (TRSV), Prudvi (ABVP), Uday (NSUI), Prem Kumar Reddy, Ch. Ramesh, Uma, Vardhan and Venkatesh attended the meeting.
