AISA organized a rally and demonstration on 1 June against collection of exorbitant fees and donations for admissions in colleges in Harapanhalli taluk. Subsequent to the rally, the taluk administration was forced to convene a tripartite meeting of Assistant Commissioner, Tahsildar, Dy SP, principals of all colleges in the town numbering around 11 along with representatives of AISA. Because of pressure from AISA, the tripartite meeting abolished the donation component of Rs.2500 and decided to collect only Rs.2500 that mainly comprised the tuition fee and few others. Decisions of the meeting and also the revised fees were announced through notice board in each college. The abolition of donation would have benefited thousands of students while more than hundred students benefited directly because of the intervention of AISA activists. NEC member of AISA DM. Prasad, District President Parameshwarappa and taluk president Santosh led the entire struggle.
A new team of student leaders and hundreds of members have recently joined AISA in the taluk, leaving SFI due to its hand-in-glove role with hostel warden against students. AISA leaders thwarted attempts by the Warden for a compromise. Now, the students are being extended all facilities entitled to them, which was so long denied by the warden in connivance with the then student organization.
