Students take out protest march

By Our Staff Correspondent

MANGALORE, FEB. 19. Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidayarthi Parishad took out a protest march here on Thursday in protest against the increase in fees in industrial training institutes.

The protesters later presented a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner stating that the examination fees had gone up from Rs. 80 to Rs. 250, while the training fee had gone up from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1,000. This had deprived poor students an opportunity to get industrial training.

The increase in fees might result in dropouts.

The parishad warned the Government of serious consequences if it did not roll back the fees immediately.
