Don't turn private varsities into business ventures
Education is the fundamental right of a citizen. Every year, large numbers of students complete their higher secondary education. But they have to leave their dream of studying in public universities due to limited seats. Private universities have a great contribution in providing higher education to the students. But to our utter dismay, most private universities charge high tuition fees from students. As they are mostly from middle class families, they find it hard to bear. Perhaps, high tuition fees result from the commercial mentality of the private university authorities. Can't they keep educational institutions outside the remit of pre commerce? If they can do so, our country will definitely proceed ahead. I urge the authorities of private universities to lower their tuition fees for the greater benefit of students.
