The Govt. of Orissa must increase students intake by 100% in all +2 Science colleges from the coming academic session in order to fill up the vacant seats in most of the Engg. colleges.It will not only strengthen the financial status of the colleges but also attract more women to choose science as their career.
Privatisation of education does not mean to get rid of minimum responsibility of sustenance of all Govt. run colleges in the state.
