Students At Punjab University Suffers Fee Hike As Part Of BJP’s Agenda

Punjab University announced a 10% fee hike for 2018-19 academic session and 5% hike for the ongoing 2017-18 session. This is an anti-student and anti-poor step taken by the central university at the behest of BJP led MHRD and UGC. The NSUI demands an immediate rollback of the fee hike. This was done despite the Congress-led Punjab Government providing an enhanced grant to the University. Further, this comes just over a year after the massive protests against fee hike announced last year and fits a pattern of fee hikes and scholarship cuts across Central Universities and State Universities since the BJP assumed reign.

Jamia Millia Islamia University increased its fee by 10% in 2015, Lucknow University announced a 30% hike in 2018 which was rolled back to 15% after protests by student bodies, JNU announced a 100% hike in mess fee while the Central University of Haryana announced a 45% hike in 2015. Similarly, Aligarh Muslim University, B R Ambedkar University, University of Allahabad, etc all witnessed varying levels of tuition fee or hostel or exam fee hikes over the past 4 years.

Ever since the Modi led BJP government came to power at the centre bure din have started for students of the country. Students are suffering from the double whammy of fee hikes and scholarship cuts. The arrears of over ₹ 6,000 Crores of post-matric scholarships for SC/ST students are still pending. PG seat cuts in premier institutions like JNU, attacks by ABVP on students in campuses across the country, obscurantist statements by Ministers in charge of education, appointment of underqualified faculty with RSS background in key institutions of higher learning, intimidation of students dissenting against this government’s anti-learning attitude all point towards one fact – the BJP and RSS are threatened by those who want to learn and think for themselves.

The attempts by the BJP government and the larger Sangh Parivar to return India to the stone ages for its own political gains is a direct attack on the future of India’s youth and our country. No society has progressed without honing its scientific temper and providing learning opportunities to the future citizens of the country so that they can realise their full potential. The NSUI is committed to fighting against this gross attack on our educational institutions and will provide a platform for progressive politics to students and youth everywhere.
