Trustee Trustee College, Dr.
Prakash Kolpe, claimed the mistake due to lack of knowledge about the process and urged FRA to take a softer view.
Kolpe voluntarily offered to contribute a large number of organizations such as Tata Hospital Trust, which treated poor cancer patients.
All four college trust colleges are in rural areas and taking extreme measures will affect the interests of the students, observe FRA.
Authority decided to reduce the cost of all universities.
Against RS 1.05 lakh claims for nursing courses, FRA approved Rs 54,000 for 2020-21, and in other courses, fixed costs at RS 63,000 compared to RS 1 Lakh claims.
Authority also reduces the salaries of all teaching staff and non-teaching campuses by violating norms.
Nalanda Law College in Borivli, run by former Minister of Laxman Dhobale, was told to return the RS 58 lakh collected from the students above and above FRA fixed costs for three to five years for LLB 3 years and 5 years courses.
College was told to deposit money with FRA and submit a list of details of the students whose costs must be returned.
College requested authority permission to pay the amount of installments because of “poor financial conditions during Covid”.
In Thane’s Audyogik Shikshan’s Institute Management and Computer Studies, FRA has acted on complaints received from students from two academic years.
It was found that universities have collected Rs 53,000 of each student in addition to fixed costs, and the reason for college for it does not have land according to the norms of FRA.
While College was told to return excess money from the total RS 37.9 lakh, the equivalent number was collected as a punishment for violating the norms in professional professional education institutions Maharashtra (revenue and cost regulations), 2016.
