The Communist Party of India has sought the intervention of Chief Minister N. Rangasamy in setting right complaints regarding implementation of free education scheme for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students in the Union Territory.
In a petition submitted to the Chief Minister on Thursday, the party said private educational institutions were not strictly following the free education scheme for students belonging to the Adi Dravidar community in the Union Territory. Though the government was providing funds to private educational institutions for implementing the scheme, schools and colleges were demanding additional funds from the students.
