  • There shall be uniform fee for all the students- A.P High Court.

    A Division Bench of the AP High Court comprising Justice Goda Raghu Ram and Justice P. Durga Prasad quashed the notifications issued by the State government in August 2010 pertaining to the fee to be paid by students in private engineering colleges.

    The Bench said that there shall be uniform fee for all the students in a college except for the NRI quota. The judgment covers unaided colleges offering engineering, MBA, MCA, and Pharmacy courses.

    They said that by fixing separate fee for A and B categories, one set of students were forced to subsidise the other, which was constitutionally impermissible.

    At present, the fee for A category seats in private engineering college is Rs.30,000 and nearly Rs.90,000 for B category. This, the Bench said, amounted to cross subsidy and was unconstitutional. The Bench permitted the AFRC to recommend and the State government to notify a higher fee for students admitted into 15 per cent quota for NRIs. This fee shall be deposited in a separate bank account to be employed for the benefit of students from economically weaker sections.

    The government is to notify the fee structure in March of the preceding academic year. The court directed the State to notify the fee structure proposals for academic years 2010-2011, 2011-2012 & 2012-2013 within three months.

  • Ayurvedic colleges in State face closure threat, Permission for six colleges cancelled.

    Vijayawada, Nov 01: All except one Ayurvedic College in the State are on the verge of closure with the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) withdrawing permission for intake of undergraduate (degree) and post-graduate students for 2011-12 academic year.

    Ironically, the counselling for the post-graduate seats began at the Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences here, but only for a few seats in one private college, amid careless attitude of the State government in fulfilling the norms with regard to number of beds in attached hospitals and faculty, though it was feasible, sources said.

    Lack of faculty, beds

    The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of AYUSH, has cancelled permission for three Government Ayurvedic Colleges in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Warangal and three private Ayurvedic colleges in Medak, Karimnagar and Bollikunta (Warangal) on the grounds that they do not have the stipulated faculty and the teaching hospitals do not have the stipulated number of beds.

    The S.V. Ayurvedic College, Tirupati, is the only college that has been granted permission to admit 40 students to BAMS course, six students into PG Rasashastra and six more into PG Dravyaguna. But, even this college has not been permitted to admit students into PG courses in Panchakarma, Kaumarbhritya, Shalya Tantra-Kshar avum Anushastra Karmna and Ayurved Siddhanta.

    Seats denied

    CCIM member M.L. Naidu told The Hindu that permission had not been granted to admit students to 280 BAMS seats and 14 PG seats.

    He said the Central government did not grant permission because of shortage of eligible faculty and bed-strength.

    Ineligible teachers

    Five of the teachers at the Hyderabad College were found to be ineligible, according to CCIM Assessment Visitation Reports.

    Similarly, four staff members in Vijayawada Government College do not have the stipulated qualifications and six in the Warangal College.

    When it comes to bed-strength, the hospital of the Hyderabad College was short of 35 beds and in Vijayawada 50 beds were short.

    Mr Naidu said that unless the State government took the initiative, filled the vacant posts and provided additional beds, these colleges would be in trouble.

    Consent to three government and three private colleges in State withdrawn.

    S.V. Ayurvedic College given permission to admit 40 students to BAMS course, 12 to PG courses.
