Students Revolt Against Fee Hike and Poor Facilities

Students at Guna's Government Postgraduate College staged a fierce protest on Tuesday against a fee increase imposed by the college administration and the severe lack of basic amenities on campus. The student organization, All India Students' Association (AISA), submitted a memorandum to the principal, urging immediate fulfillment of their demands.

Led by AISA College President Shubham Rao, students raised serious questions about the college administration's functioning. They highlighted that over 15,000 students are enrolled, most from rural and economically weaker sections. The proposed 630 rupee fee increase will place an additional financial burden on these students.

Lack of Basic Facilities and Dilapidated Infrastructure

Protesters pointed out that the girls' and boys' hostels, which have been closed for years, remain non-operational. This creates a severe accommodation crisis for female students coming from distant areas. The condition of PMS hostels is also described as extremely dilapidated.

Students also alleged that despite the implementation of a new curriculum under the New Education Policy, the college library lacks sufficient new books, hindering their studies. The organization also cited issues such as a lack of regular classes, a faulty sound system, and general uncleanliness on campus, all of which are impacting the academic quality.

Warning of Larger Movement If Demands Not Met

AISA has warned the college administration that if their demands are not addressed promptly and the problems are not resolved, the organization will initiate a larger movement on September 25 regarding the free bus pass facility. This ultimatum has created a tense atmosphere on the college campus.
