Students are exploited in many ways by their staff, management and even the government. Read about exploitation using academic proects here.
This is the story of a new and even more vicious exploitation. It also happened in a college in Central Travancore. The troubles started when the government issued some sort of lottery. These lotteries reached this particular college and the staff there made in mandatory that every student purchase lotteries worth Rs 100.
Obviously most students were not interested in this government sponsored gambling and didn’t buy the tickets. But before the exam day when the students went to collect their hall tickets, the office refused to give hall tickets to those students who did not purchase the ticket. Since this was unexpected most student did not have 100Rs with them.
After a lot of pleading and begging the students paid for the lottery and got their hall ticket, proving the point that if you know where to squeeze, you can get anything out of anyone.
And finally the most funny thing is that none of them got their lottery tickets even after paying Rs 100.
Shame on the students and blame on their environment. Not knowing how to react and protest. One thing the new generation lack. After all its a said thing ‘Towards the end rules and government will be handled by wrong hands.’ So are the common living beings effected.
By the by, where does it point to ‘Central Travancore??’

This is outright ridiculous!! These kinds of miserable business tactics were usually adopted by them private managements, as in the case of a well known school in Trivandrum who forced the students into buying a hugely overpriced school magazine, and was later scuffed up by the court.

Can’t the students file a complaint with police for this blackmail?

File a case on what issue? Against a new college policy? I think to file a case it should either be a security issue or some violence.

This is absolutely shocking. How can this happen? Hasn’t anyone filed a complaint?
