Suryapet: With the demand to withdraw decision with regard to cancellation of post-graduate courses in degree colleges, the members of Students Federation of India, All India Students Federation and Progressive Democratic Students Union tried to lay siege to the residence of Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy in Suryapet on Monday. However, police foiled their attempt and shifted them to police station after taking them into their custody.
Speaking to the media, district presidents of the student unions P Kiran, S Nagaraju and S Upender expressed their concern over the State government's decision of cancellation of PG courses in government degree collages across the State.
They informed that PG courses have been running in 40 degree collages in the State and as many as 25 lecturers have been working in each college.
As many as 1,600 seats in PG courses would be cancelled and about 500 lecturers would lose their employment if PG courses in 20 degree colleges were cancelled as per the circular issued by the education department for the current academic year.
Student leaders V Linganna, G Ravi, Uttej, Pawan, Ranjith, Sudhakar and others participated in the protest.
