Mangalore, Aug 27: Degree students of Kanachur Academy of General Education on Wednesday August 27 protested against the management, claiming that they were deprived of basic facilities due to ongoing construction of a medical college in the campus.

The management is in the process of constructing a medical college, for which it has permission, but the students allege that due to the ongoing construction work, they have been put to inconvenience as their basic facilities have been reportedly curtailed.

The protesting students said that sometime ago, they had submitted an appeal to the college management urging for facilities, and the management had promised to do so within a month. But even though a month has passed, the situation has not changed.

The students alleged that there are no separate toilets for boys and girls, and no proper road to the college either. Due to this, students, especially girls, are facing lot of incovenience and difficulties, they said.

They also claimed that though the college had taken library fee from each student, there is no library for the degree students.

The management in its response urged the students to cooperate as medical college is under construction, and promised to fulfil their demands soon.

The students also alleged that chairman of the institution U Kanachar Monu met them and 'threatened' to give them transfer certificates.

The protestors said that if the college does not meet their demands, they will take the help of all college students' union to intensify their protest in the coming days.

 

College Clarifies

Shortly after the protest by the students, the college management issued a clarification to the media stating that utmost care had been taken to ensure that students were not affected by the ongoing construction of the medical college and denied the allegation by the students that there were no separate toilets for boys and girls.

A clarfication from the college chairman U Kanachur Monu stated, "There have been a few obstacles due to the construction of a medical college, still, we have made alternate arrangements for the students so that they are not affected. We have halted the operation of the sawmill so that students are not troubled.

"The degree college building is as good as a five star hotel. Boys and girls have separate, clean and well-maintained toilets," he added.

Monu also claimed that a group with vested interests was provoking the students against the college. Without naming the group, he stated, "Unable to digest the progress and rise of the college, a group has been attempting to instigate the students and spoil the name of the college."

He also denied having spoken to the students over the issue. "I have been at home due to illness for last two days and have not spoken to the students on any matter. We will soon take them into confidence and examine the issues and problems they may be facing," he said.

    Instead of creating this type of protest, parents should demand for transfer certificate and get their ward admitted some where else.
    in case they have paid any donation, take the school to court.
    The education business is a big money spinner. From crorepatis to uneducated goondas, this has become a prestige issue to own a school.
    the parents are such fools that they think getting their children admitted in old/government school is a setback for their career.
    the government on the other hand has got no control over such business. take the account of last 20 years, notorious excise contractor, rowdy sheeter, womaniser, cheat and criminals are heading some of the institutions. they are the role model for the students in their school. Just see in this case, the owner is threatening the students. this is the same person who wanted to represent us in the parliament. god knows who gave him courage to dream such a possibility.
    I urge at least his party (Congress) should intervene and give justice to the gullible students of this institute. have a suggestion. If he cannot talk politely with the children who have paid him tuition fee, why not return their money and arrange them some other school for this year.

    In olden days education and collges were the spot producing knowledge.Unfortunately in current situation it has become business industry for administration and flirting spot for students..Government has to make sure all basic necessities has been accomplished during beginning of academic year or in Summer Holidays.
