Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi Vidyarthi (BRSV) wing staged a protest at the Masab Tank Polytechnic College on Thursday opposing the State government’s proposed merger of polytechnic education with Young India Skill University (YISU). They demanded that the government withdraw the proposed changes and protect the interests of polytechnic students.
Police detained the protesters and shifted them to the Asif Nagar police station.
Speaking to mediapersons, BRSV State president Gellu Srinivas Yadav alleged that the government was attempting to weaken polytechnic education by introducing GO No. 97 and linking it to the SHAKTI scheme. He said students who complete Class X and pursue polytechnic courses have opportunities to secure employment soon after completing their studies. He said the proposed changes could undermine those opportunities and also deprive students of fee reimbursement.
The BRSV State president alleged that the government was seeking to weaken polytechnic education to promote the Young India Skill University model. He questioned the rationale behind treating polytechnic students on the lines of ITI students just because they were not interested in pursuing courses at the Skill University. He also condemned the government’s attempt to suppress the voices of students using the police.
