The All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) said on Sunday that it will hold State-wide protests on September 10 opposing the State government’s decision to introduce a 15% NRI quota seats in government medical colleges with an exorbitant fee of ₹25 lakh a seat.
Convener of Dakshina Kannada committee of AIDSO Vinay Chandra said in a statement that the government has claimed that its decision would generate funds for medical colleges. “But in reality, this approach is nothing short of auctioning off precious government seats to the rich, thereby pushing public institutions towards privatisation,” he claimed.
