The TDP's Telugu Nadu Students Federation (TNSF) has given a call the bandh protesting the state government's "anti-student and anti-educational policies".
Protesting against the state government's "anti-student and anti-educational policies" across the state, the Telugu Nadu Students Federation (TNSF) has given a call for a Telangana educational institutions' bandh on July 15.
Speaking to the media at NTR Trust Bhavan on Saturday, TNSF Telangana president Ch Madhusudan Reddy alleged that the state government was behaving like a buffalo, which doesn't respond even if it rained upon it. Despite students and unemployed youth staging agitations for a while for the fulfillment of their problems, the government was unmoved, he said.
TNSF leaders released a wall poster of the bandh proposed demanding that the government provide free education from KG to PG, bring in a new law to control the fees in private educational institutions, implement the Right to Education Act, extend the fee reimbursement scheme to all eligible students, provide minimum facilities in government educational institutions and fill vacant posts, resolve the problems of the welfare hostels students, cleanse the intermediate board which was supporting corporate colleges, release scholarship arrears immediately to the students, and speed up engineering counseling immediately.
TNSF warned that it would intensify the agitation in case the Chief Minister failed to respond to the demands.
TNSF also asked the student unions, caste organizations, intellectuals, educationalists, managements and parents to participate in a big way in the proposed bandh.
TNSF state General Secretary Sagarapu Prasad, Vice-Presidents Prasad, Srikanth Reddy and Sharath Chandra, and Sumanth, Shiva Kumar, Ramakrishna, Naveen, Ramulu, Shanthan Reddy, Raju and others participated. (NSS)
