Bengaluru: The All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) on Sunday called for a statewide protest against the Karnataka government’s “Draconian” policy to introduce a 15% NRI quota in government medical colleges.
The government claims this move will generate funds for medical colleges, but this approach is nothing but auctioning government seats to the rich, pushing public institutions towards privatisation,” a press release by AIDSO, said.
It warned that the decision was a “dangerous” step towards converting government colleges into “profit-making centers.”
