The TRS party has expressed concern over exorbitant fee charged by the corporate educational institutions and requested the State government to initiate measures to regulate fee collected by these institutions.
The party also expressed concern over the manner in which the private hospitals were performing “unwanted” operations on gullible patients and charging hefty amount from them. Moving a resolution on the party’s resolve to fight against ills plaguing the society, TRS MLC Naradasu Lakshman Rao lamented that the poor and middle classes have become the victims of exorbitant fee charged by the corporate institutions.
The desire of these sections to provide quality education to their children was forcing them to sell their land and valuables to pay the fee charged by these private institutions.
The seriousness of the situation could be gauged from the fact that these institutions were not even maintaining the accounts pertaining to fee and donations that they were charging from parents. There is a need to check the practice and the government should take appropriate measures to put in place a transparent policy for admissions, the resolution said. The resolution recalled that the government had constituted a Cabinet sub-committee to study the functioning of the private hospitals that were conducting surgeries, even though they were not prescribed. “Patients who approach these hospitals are unable to come out without the doctors performing surgery on them on some pretext or the other,” the resolution said.
The plenary also passed resolutions hailing the measures taken by the government in welfare sector, irrigation and agriculture and the manner in which the government succeeded in making the State power surplus and attracting large-scale investments. The measures taken through Mission Bhagiratha was appreciated by the party which hailed the visionary approach of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao which would make the State drought-free in the long run.
