Dear All

There is a fauji in a village. He has one and half acres of land. He has two daughtersand one son. Eldest girl competes in the PMT test of Maulana Medical College and her rank number allows her to take admission in M.B.B.S. But she declines the offer and opts for B.D.S. because she can not afford the Fees and annual expenditures for M.B.B.S. Her mother and father are very sad but they are helpless. This year 248 students in Panjab have declined the offer of M.B.B.S. because they cannot afford the fees etc. Fauji ko Faujan Kaya kahati hai Bhala gaur Farmaney ka kast kareyen.

EDUCATION IN HARYANA

For the last few years the education in Haryana is going out of reach of common man children whether it is medical, dental, engineering or simple collede education. Some of the students left MBBS course seat and opted for dental because they were not in a position to bear the medical college expenses.
