New Delhi, July 28 (UNI) Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Vinai Kumar Saxena has turned down the proposal to hike fees in diploma level technical institutions operated and owned by private organizations in the national capital, sources in the L-G office said.
According to them, the move is aimed for "larger public interest" to enable students from all sections of society, particularly those from the lower economic strata to pursue various diploma level courses for attaining employment.
"The L-G has advised the Delhi Chief Minister to postpone the proposed fee hike in Privately owned Institutions that run diploma level courses and are affiliated to the Board of Technical Education, GNCTD, by one year," a senior official said.
