Madras University row over corpus fund use

Madras University row over corpus fund use

There's a big argument happening at the University of Madras.

The university's leaders decided to use some of its special savings money to pay retired workers.

But a group called SPCSS-TN is very upset about this.

They say the university shouldn't use this money because it might make school fees go up a lot.

They're worried that the university will stop being a place that helps everyone and will only help people who can pay a lot of money.

The group also thinks this is part of a bigger plan from the government's new education rules.

They want people to know about this and are planning to talk to everyone about it.
