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AEES and withdrawn the free education ensured by the Government of India to the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,

No
Tuition Fee for the students for 1st to 8th standard was
collected in KVS and DOS.

Even

for KVS and DOS was lesser amount comparing that of AEES (DAE) even at the pre
revised level.
·
The
revised rate of Tuition Fee is exorbitantly higher than that of the KVS and DOS
·
60%
increase in Tuition fee and 233% increase in PUVVN proposed by AEES which is
exorbitant.
·
The
total expenditure for a student to complete his education at the level of 12th
Standard in AEES (DAE) is higher than KVS and DOS even at the pre revised rate.
·
The
total expenditure for a student to complete his education at the level of 12th
standard in AEES (DAE) after revision is four times more than that of DOS and
82% more than the rate exists in KVS.
