Addressing media, a victim student said, “Before 2 years, through an advertisement it was said that based on merit, Govt will send students outside states to complete their B.Ed".
"For 2 years course fee, fooding, lodging will be freed, but now from Dept we are getting calls that we should give course fee soon. We are deprived after 1-year. We want to ask, why our course fee is not given when promise was done for free-of-cost ?"
"Our demand is, Govt must keep its promise and as per advertisement the Govt should give us free education chances. Now, Director is saying, there is a shortage of fund and thus, we have to bear our own expenses. Around 150 students are now deprived”, said a student.
