Hyderabad: Amid rising concerns from families across Telangana, multiple parent associations — including the Child Rights Protection Forum (CRPF), Hyderabad Schools Parents’ Association (HSPA), and the Mothers’ Association — have united in urging the state government to establish a transparent regulatory mechanism to control arbitrary hikes in school fees.

Representatives from these forums highlight the financial strain caused by unchecked increases in tuition and allied charges in both elite and smaller private schools. Mr. AVM Swamy from CRPF stated that some institutions are reportedly doubling fees annually, pushing many middle- and lower-income families to transfer their children to government schools.

“The unchecked commercialization of school education is deeply alarming. It’s time the government steps in to protect the rights of children and parents,” said Bhagya Laxmi G from the Mothers’ Association.

The groups are collectively demanding the formation of a dedicated school fee regulation commission to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability in fee structures. Their appeal emphasizes the urgency of legislative intervention to make quality education equitable and accessible for all.

RTC Strike Intensifies in Telangana: College Students & Public Hit Hard

RTC strike disrupts college students and commuters across Telangana, increasing travel costs, absenteeism, and daily hardships amid reduced bus services.

The ongoing RTC strike across Telangana is continuing to disrupt daily life, with its impact now being felt more sharply by college students and the general public. While schools are currently closed due to summer holidays, colleges remain functional—creating a major challenge for thousands of students dependent on public transport.

Protests at depots like Jeedimetla Bus Depot have led to reduced bus services, leaving commuters stranded or forced to seek costly alternatives. College students, especially those traveling from outskirts and rural areas, are struggling to attend classes regularly. Many are either missing lectures or spending significantly more on autos and private transport.

The situation is equally difficult for office-goers and daily wage workers, who rely heavily on RTC buses for affordable commuting. With fares of autos and cabs rising due to demand, the financial burden on common people has increased considerably.

Parents and students are expressing frustration, as there is no uniform relief—schools are shut for holidays, but higher education continues without transport support. This imbalance is adding to stress, attendance issues, and academic disruption.

Amid the unrest, K. P. Vivekanand has backed the RTC workers, criticizing the government’s response and urging immediate resolution of their demands.

Until a solution is reached, it is the everyday commuter—particularly college students—who remain the worst affected in this ongoing deadlock.
