Educational
institutes in Madhya Pradesh will now adopt cash-free transactions for
financial and business conducts said Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in a
meeting held on Tuesday. PR officer of Bhopal School of Social Sciences, Manju
Mehta said that Rs.500 and Rs.1000 will not be accepted and students can make
the online payments and to pay through Federal bank if any of the students want
to pay in cash.
Additional news
regarding demonetization include announcements that all the students should
make use of credit card or debit card and e-banking facility for paying the
fees from December 30th. Education department has directed
registrars, principals, and the directors to make the appropriate arrangement
for cash-free transactions before December 15th. Higher Education
Principal Secretary Ashish Upadhyaya confirms that as per the government’s
demonetisation policy, colleges will implement cashless banking using the
Janbhagidari Samiti accounts, which make the administration easier without fear
of getting banned. Also the colleges and the universities are requested to make
use of point of sale (PoS) machines which will be made available.
Some
of the students faced difficulties while paying the fees because the university
had stopped accepting Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currencies as per the new
demonetization policy. The students of Shivang Homeopathic College, Bhopal went
on strike against the management for a brief period of time. The students
alleged that the management is charging extra fees of Rs. 2000 as the
examination fees. But later the administration of college had denied the
charges.The real reason for charging the extra fees was not relating to
demonetization but the students’ low attendance which the Director of Shivang
Homeopathic College, Mr.Niraj Trivedi clarified.
