Educationists and student leaders oppose the introduction of payment quota seats in UBDT Government Engineering College, sparking a protest.
Educationists and student leaders opposed the decision to introduce payment quota seats in UBDT Government Engineering College in Davangere on Tuesday.
AIDSO held a discussion about the decision by the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and the State government on introducing 50% payment seats in the college.
Writer and State unit president of All India Education Save Committee Allamaprabhu Bettadur said that it is outrageous to introduce payment quota seats in a college which is the first choice of the poor.
By approving of this decision, the State government has betrayed the common people, he said.
He said that the government did not seem concerned about the dismal state of education in the State where most government institutions are suffering from large-scale teacher vacancies.
“Rather than supporting such institutions, the State government is taking less and less financial responsibility and selling seats in government colleges. It is condemnable,” he said.
He said that the State government has withdrawn National Education Policy (NEP 2020) following a sustained protest by AIDSO and the All India Save Education Committee.
