'Right to Education' is considered a fundamental right in the Indian constitution. But, in practical terms good Education is available only to those who have Money.
Bharathiar University is a state university recognised by the UGC under sec 2f. Though based in Coimbatore, TN; the university is operating all across India through its study centres offering various courses.
These study centres of the university are charging exhorbitant fee for various courses especially Management and Fashion courses.
When confronted, the institutions cite agreement signed with the university wherein they are LEGALLY authorised by the university to charge substantially higher fee under its CPOP scheme.
When enquired the same from the university officials, they confirmed to the CPOP model.
What is most disturbing is the fact that despite bodies like UGC and Distance Education Council (DEC) nobody is bothered to look into the matter.
HRD Ministry is making tall claims but under its very nose the universities like Bharathiar are flouting the rules.
> IS EDUCATION REALLY A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT?
DOUBTS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN THE MINDS OF THE ORDINARY CITIZEN AS LONG AS SUCH ARRANGEMENT ARE IN PLACE.
