Summary:
AN INQUIRY into allegations against Jai Hind College charging an annual fee of Rs 1,000 from each student for Wifi has found “reasonable ground” in the charges raised by the Maharashtra Navnirmam Vidyarthi Sena. Over 10,000 students were charged Rs 1,000 as Wifi fee that was not prescribed by Mumbai University, the complaint letter had said. Jai Hind College Principal Ashok Wadia said: “Wifi was an additional facility given to the students by the management on their request. Hence, it was not capitation fee. AdvertisingThe report prepared by inquiry committee members, M S Kurhade, Dr Rashmi Oza and Dr Tukaram Gadhve, concluded that the capitation fee collected by the college, in contravention to the Prohibition of Capitation Fee Act, 1987, needs to be refunded..
