Dear Concerned,

I, being an academic professional do realize how much I rely on internet to do the following:

1) Use of social media like Facebook to connect with my alumni students
2) Use of apps like whatsapp to broadcast my message to all my colleagues for quick response on finding solution to curriculum based problems
3) use of Google to send group emails to make the students enter details online via spreadsheets
4) use of flipkart to buy books of foreign authors that are not readily available in indian market
5) use of various other apps to keep my knowledge updated so as to give my expert decisions in panel discussions.

It is my humble request to TRAI that please consider not to apply additional access charge on internet based apps.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS GOING TO HAMPER THE PROCESS OF KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN BAD WAY!!!

EVERY INDIAN HAVE A RIGHT FOR HASSLE FREE EDUCATION!!!

EVERY TEACHER HAVE TO FIND A WAY WHICH IS LESS EXPENSIVE FOR STUDENTS TO FOLLOW!!!

SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT ONLY A PLATFORM FOR FUN, IT IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF INFORMATION SHARING AMONGST PUPILS!!

IT IS AN ONLY MEDIUM THAT ENFORCES FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

EVERY STUDENT SHALL HAVE A RIGHT TO LEARN AT MINIMUM COST!!!

I STRONGLY CONDEMN THIS ACTION JUST FOR THE SAKE OF INCREASE IN PROFITS OF FEW "SERVICE PROVIDERS"..

KINDLY NOT TAKE SUCH A DECISION WHICH MAY IMPACT OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM NEGATIVELY..

A Hopeful Academician,
