LUCKNOW, Sept. 5 -- Saying that fees should not be raised by institutions in the middle of an academic calendar, governor Anandiben Patel on Thursday said the Raj Bhawan was ready to help students if they face such a situation. There should be such a mechanism that prevents hike of even Re 1 in such a way, she added. Addressing the first convocation of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, she said, "Many poor families pay fees after selling property so that their children can study in medical institutes. Paying a higher fee may be difficult or it may not just be possible for them." "If a family pays Rs 15 lakh once and next time you ask for Rs 20 lakh, can the family pay the increased amount? I have to interfere at times to get the fee returned," she said while sharing an incident in Agra district. "In Agra, I heard a family paying Rs 15 lakh and the child died later. I got to know that the family sold land to pay fees. I got the fee returned," the governor added. "I ask girls if a situation comes before them, the doors of Raj Bhawan are open for them," she said.
