Sub: Revision of Tuition Fee, PUVVN
with effect from the Academic year 2015-2016

Sir,

We hope that the issue related to the Revision of Tuition Fee, PUVVN, extending the fee structure to Girl Child and the children belongs to SC/ST raised by NFAEE, its affiliated unions and associations, ARWA, SC/ST Associations, etc may be brought to your notice by the concerned authorities of DAE.

        The matter was raised by this Federation during the month of February 2015 when it was brought to the notice that the Tuition Fee and PUVVN have been exorbitantly enhanced by AEES and withdrawn the free education ensured by the Government of India to the GIRL child and SC?ST Students.

        We wrote a letter to the Chairman, AEES (Ref. No: nfaee/sg/15/042 dated 23rd February 2015) with a request to withdraw the enhanced rate of Tuition Fee and PUVVN.

An extended meeting of representatives of unions, associations and welfare associations of DAE employees stationed at Mumbai & Tarapur was held on 26.02.2015 at the Seminar Hall, Nabhikiya Bhavan, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai and passed a resolution to urge the Chairman AEES (Ref. No: nfaee/sg/15/048 dated 27th February 2015)

·         To withdraw the hike in Tuition fee as well as in PUVVN immediately and continue the pre revised fee structure
·         To spend the amount in PUVVN strictly as per the guidelines given in Annexure II of the “Authorized Expenditure of Heads under PUVVN”
·         To examine/audit the utilization of PUVVN has been done in the previous years.
·         To ensure admission to the wards of non DAE employees who all are admitted in Pre – Prep and now in Prep classes in first standard. 

NFAEE sought an appointment with the Chairman, AEES and accordingly met the Chairman, Secretary, CAO of the AEES and the Chairman LMC, Mumbai on 2nd March 2015 and discussed elaborately the matter referred above. In the meeting Chairman AEES explained various steps initiated by DAE to curtail the non planning expenditure and the direction given to the AEES to divert the amount in PUVVN to Cosmetic maintenance, salary for adhoc appointed teachers, etc which is nothing but violation of the guidelines  for utilization PUVVN. Based on the discussion NFAEE wrote a letter to the Governing Council of AEES vide our letter No. nfaee/sg/15/049 dated 3rd March 2015 requesting to the AEES to reconsider the hike in Fees.

The Governing Council Meeting held on 4th March 2015 directed the AEES to seek guidelines on hike in Fee as well as to enhance the budgetary support for non planning expenditure. Accordingly the matter was referred to DAE by letter dated 16th March 2015, Ref No. AEES/P&C/Tuition Fees/ 2015-16/6555.

Vide our letter NO. nfaee/sg/15/076 dated 3rd April 2015 NFAEE brought the matter to your notice and sought intervention to resolve the matter.

Again on 8th April vide letter No. nfaee/15/073 dated 8th April 2015 addressed to Chairman AEES requested to put on hold the Fee collection till a decision taken by DAE.

In the meanwhile 69th meeting of DAE Department Council was held on 9th April 2015 and the matter has been discussed. Additional Secretary, DAE and the Chairman of DAE Department Council assured the meeting that the matter shall be apprised to the Chairman, AEC and within 5 working days shall communicate the feedback. The same has been communicated to the AEES authorities and requested to suspend the Fee collection till a decision arrived at DAE.

To put in record we wrote letter vide No. nfaee/sg/15/078 dated 13th April 2015 in which we have been raised the deviation of Government policies such as free education to girl child and SC/ST students also raised.

On 15th April 2015 representatives various unions and association of DAE units stationed at Mumbai along with NFAEE office bearers met the Chairman AEES to express our concern about the authorities attempt to put pressure on wards to collect the fee in an urgent manner and after the discussion he agreed to put on hold for collection of the fee. But there after again attempts were made to collect the fee in a war foot manner and even the kids were harassed and humiliated by the Principals and teachers. Through vide our letter No. nfaee/sg/087 dated 26.04.2015 further requested to stop immediately such pressure on kids.

In response it is now communicated that the date of fee collection shall be communicated in the month of June after open the School after summer vacation.

Above all there are various administrative lapses on various accounts of the day to functioning of the AEES such as no regular administrator/Secretary, no proper accounting and handling of financial matter, etc are some of the issues

In the above mentioned circumstance, it is highly praiseworthy if a positive decision taken by the Department on our demands to streamline the AEES activities such as

·         Withdraw the hike in Tuition fee as well as in PUVVN immediately and continue the pre revised fee structure.
·         Ensure free education to the GIRL child and SC/ST students upto 12th Standard
·         Spend the amount in PUVVN strictly as per the guidelines given in Annexure II of the “Authorized Expenditure of Heads under PUVVN”.
·         Examine/audit the utilization of PUVVN has been done in the previous years.
·         Appoint a regular administrator or Secretary to look after the AEES functioning for which already a sanctioned post exists.

A comparative chart on the Fee collection in DAE, DOS and KVS along with our observation on FEE is attached herewith for your ready reference while considering the matter for review.

We once again request you to intervene and to resolve the issue at the earliest. It will be highly appreciated if you permit us to present our views in person before arrive in a decision.

        Thanking you
               
                                                Yours faithfully,
