ABVP calls for school bandh today in Karimnagar

Karimnagar: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) gave a call for State-wide bandh of all educational institutions on June 28, demanding the government strict implementation of the Right to Education Act, formation of district fee regulatory committees, informed ABVP city secretary Raparthi Srinivas.

Speaking at a press meet at Vidyarthi Bhavan here on Thursday, he said that they seek action to be taken against private and corporate educational institutions, which are collecting high fees from parents and to implement the law to control fees.

His other demands include implementation of GO No: 91 strictly, which prevents private and corporate schools from adding suffix to their school names to attract parents so that they will admit their children into their schools; stop the school management from selling books, uniforms and other stationary on the school premises; and allotment of 25 per cent seats to the students belonging to weaker sections.

ABVP city secretary R Srinivas urged all the parents and representatives of people's organisations

to participate in the State-wide bandh call given by ABVP to make

it successful.
