Students under the banner of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) demanded the cancellation of Government Orders (G.Os) 35 and 42 pertaining to aided schools and colleges.
Staging a demonstration at the Sub-Collector’s office in Tirupati on Wednesday, the students belonging to ABVP’s Tirupati unit wondered how the government could take a unilateral decision to take over aided institutions functioning for several decades.
“Such a mindless decision will not only endanger the careers of thousands of students but also make such great institutions go extinct”, the regional organiser M. Nagesh rued, demanding immediate withdrawal of the G.Os.
