13 July 2012 Kolkata: Today a peaceful rally and demonstration was organized by SIO Kolkata city against “Private University bill” at Calcutta University

City President SIO Kolkata Mr.Shadab Masum told the private university bill presented in the assembly is apprehensive, he also told the bill will be a green signal for tough competitions in the ‘education industry’ to earn large profits. The biggest problem faced by the Indian society is that higher education is reachable only for those who fall in the right hands of economic affordability and so a large section of Indian society has been marginalized. The bill if implemented will only help to intensify the current state of affairs. Commercialization of education had ruined many Indians and replaced talents by “capitation fee”. He added Education must not be treated as a commodity for sale. Commercialization of education will lead to severe social imbalance. He demanded the state government to withdraw the bill.

In the said program beside city president Shadab Masum, state Campus secy Mafikul Islam,SIO Kolkata Secretary Javed khan and campus secretary Md sujauddin were also present.
