All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO), Mysuru committee on Monday, claimed that admissions in degree colleges this year have seen a drop due to “sudden introduction” of the National Education Policy-2020. Therefore, the “unscientific introduction” of the new education policy has to be withdrawn, the AIDSO members demanded in Mysuru.
In support of their demands, the members of AIDSO staged a demonstration in front of the Crawford Hall, University of Mysore on Monday.
They also demanded that the move to make institutions of higher learning autonomous be dropped. The higher education institutions in the government set-up need to be strengthened, adding basic facilities.
