The State government’s decision to hike fees for AYUSH courses has come under criticism.
While condemning the move, the All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) in Mysuru said the course fee under the government quota in private colleges has been hiked from ₹60,000 to ₹75,000. The increase in fee by 25% is nothing but “anti-student attitude” of the government and denies professional education to poor meritorious students, it said in a statement here.
“For the common man who is already in a financial crisis, the move is like rubbing salt on the wound. The government should have stood with the students and realised their dreams of education in times of crisis but it yielded to the pressure and increased the fees,” alleged AIDSO District Committee in the statement.
