The activists of Student Federation of India (SFI) on Wednesday staged a protest at the entrance of the SRR Government Junior College, demanding that the proposal to convert the government junior (co-ed) college into a Mahila Junior College be dropped.
The SFI leaders argued that the government’s decisions were detrimental to the interests of the students from the economically backward sections. The G.O. No. 85 envisaging conversion of the college into a women’s college be repealed.
The federation’s NTR district president M. Someswara Rao and secretary C.H. Venkateswara Rao said that through the G.O. No. 85, the government wanted to convert 25 government junior colleges in the State into women’s colleges.
