Mangalore, July 13: Members of the district unit of the Students Federation of India (SFI) stayed away from classes and held a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office in Mangalore on Thursday urging the government to fulfill their demands.

Speaking on the occasion, Nitin Kuttar, District President, SFI, said that although 25% reservation in private schools for poor and marginalized children has been provided by the RTE, deserving children are not being given seats. School authorities are admitting children of their acquaintances, he alleged.

A committee to check donation menace in educational institutions must be set up by the Deputy Commissioner, he demanded.

Injustice is being done to many guest lecturers in the district, Mr. Kuttar said, urging the government to address their problems. Many teacher vacancies continue to lie unfilled, he added.

Razzaq Montepadavu, District Secretary, SFI, said that even today there is a large scale scarcity of toilets and classrooms in many schools and colleges. Textbooks have not been made available for students and teachers in many educational institutions, he said. The government must also take steps to eradicate sexual harassment of students in educational institutions, he said.

A memorandum addressed to the Deputy Commissioner demanding fulfillment of several of their demands was submitted.
