Hyderabad: Stating that the Congress would cancel permission to unrecognised private universities in Telangana if it came to power, NSUI state president Balmuri Venkat said that the party would lodge complaints against Gurunanak and Srinidhi universities for allowing admissions illegally.
Venkat said that they would stage a protest in front of Education Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy's residence against the government for allowing private universities without giving proper permission. In 2008, the state government gave permission for five private universities and in 2021, the government again gave permission to six universities.
"The Governor's approval is necessary for the setting up of private universities under the proper guidelines. But, the state government has given permission to private universities which have violated rules in accepting admissions for students without proper facilities. The Education department must take action against the private universities which are running illegally in the state," the NSUI president said.
With the political influence, the management has set up private universities and indulged in cheating students by collecting huge fees from parents. The management also influenced their students to stage dharna at Governor's residence for delay in giving approvals. If the government fails to take action against illegal private universities, the NSUI would stage protests at different places in the state," Venkat warned.
