Ghaziabad : The Ghaziabad administration has pulled up educational
institutions that are reportedly charging fees from economically
underprivileged students belonging to backward classes or SC/ST
categories, warning that a formal police complaint will be lodged
against all such institutes.
District magistrate Hridyesh Kumar instructed social welfare
department officials to issue warnings to educational institutes that
charge fees from students whose parents' income are less than or equal
to Rs 1 lakh per annum. The administration has received complaints
from students regarding being charged fees that are equivalent to that
levied on the general category students by their institutes, the DM
said.
"FIR will be lodged under SC/ST Act against the owners and the
administration of any college, professional institution or school if
it is found that they have charged fees from economically backward or
SC/ST category students who cannot afford the fees. The government
gives money to these educational institutes on behalf such students
who have been given admission for free or at a lesser fee. These
institutions have no right to charge money," the DM maintained.
DM Kumar has also asked senior officials to keep a tab on the
development work in the district. Officials found stretching the
deadline set for completion of the work would be penalised, he said.
"The decision has been communicated to senior administration officials
on not awarding appraisals to those who have not achieved their
targets of the development work," said the Kumar.
To ensure the strict implementation of the decision, the DM asked the
administration to demote three officials with immediate effect for not
meeting the targets in the development work assigned to them.
"We have stopped the salary hike and demoted one official from
horticulture, one from irrigation and one executive engineer. They
have not met their deadlines nor does it appear that it can be
finished soon," the DM added.
