“KCR Tumku padhai ki fikarich nai kya? School fee loot roktaich nai kya?” Parents in Hyderabad take a dig at the CM of Telangana, holding him responsible for the condition of schools and the rise in the school fee. And it is hilarious!
After failing to get any positive response from the TRS government on the issue of fee hike by private schools, Hyderabad Schools Parents Association on Wednesday released its own version of the viral ‘Sonu Song'.
The song, viewed nearly 500 times within a couple of hours of being posted on YouTube is an attempt to draw the attention of the chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, who also features in the video, albeit in the form of a cut-out.
The song begins with “KCR Tumku padhai ki fikarich nai kya? School fee loot roktaich nai kya? (KCR, don't you give a dman about students'education? Why are you not halting school fee?), a question that the Association has raised several times over the years.
Calling it a direct appeal to the CM and one of the many to come, Ashish Naredi, member of the Association said, “We have complained to the CM, his top bureaucrats and ministers, filed FIRs and PILs, won a case in Supreme Court, provided video evidence of illegal capitation fee collection by Schools in addition to the various protests and campaigns. We fail to understand what will draw the attention of the CM and get him to act.”
The song also praises the Delhi government for initiating the fee refund while in Telangana, the Prof Tirupati Rao Committee that was constituted to make a report on District Fee Regulatory Committees is being delayed on one or the other pretext. The report that was supposed to be submitted in April has not yet seen the light of day.
Recently, HSPA had asked for a meeting of all members of the Committee. They were told the meeting would be convened in September but only after the portal where schools will upload their details is up and running. ”The Committee has taken an extension till November 15. We have been told that the meeting will be held in the first week of September but the date hasn’t been communicated. In fact, the committee is not giving any updates even to the members,” said Aravinda J, a parent.
