University Grants Commission (UGC) Funding and Tamil Nadu

[mut...@go.com]

Yes, University Grants Commission (UGC) is funding the relocation of
the university, but with whose money? The money comes from Indian
government treasury, and the Indian government treasury gets the money
from taxes collected from all over India including Tamilnadu. In fact,
Tamil Nadu pays more in Indian government taxes per person than the
Hindi states; also it gets back less money per person from Indian
government than Hindi states (even after allowing for general
expenditures like military, foreign ministry, etc.) So UGC is actually
getting the money from Tamil Nadu and giving part of the money back to
Tamil Nadu for projects such as "Dr. Ambedkar Law University
relocation". In the process of giving back part of our own tax monies,
UGC as well as other Indian government institutions, dictates to us
what to do and treats us as as if we are incompetents. If Tamil people
can earn the money and pay taxes to fund UGC, Tamil people (through
their state government) can also decide where to locate our
universities, colleges, irrigation projects, power plants, etc. We do
not need some organization from thousands of miles away to come and
tell us what to do.

Would it not be more enlightening if you give a comparative account of
all states of Indian Union and can prove that Tamilnadu pays more tax
per person and receives less in Central Government expenditure per
person than any other Indian State?
