DIMAPUR, MAY 18 (MExN): The Wangkhao Government College Students, Yingli College Students’ Union, Sao Chang College Students’ Union and Zisaji Presidency College Students’ Union today expressed support to the demand made by the Eastern Nagaland College Students’ Union (ENCSU) on grievances faced by the students of the 4 colleges from Eastern Nagaland. A joint statement from the 4 student unions said they would stand with the ENCSU until “justice is done by the government and the Higher Education Department.”
They informed that students from the colleges of Eastern Nagaland have been facing untold problems due to the insincerity of the government and the department. “When the students from other districts are enjoying all the facilities, we are deprived from enjoying even the basic necessity. We feel that it is time for the government and the department to ponder upon the problem faces by the Eastern students and deliver the justice. We are studying in our areas despite of all this problems and grievances not because we want to but it is a compulsion due to our financial constraints,” the unions stated.
Not even a single day of our college days pass without the problem, they lamented, pointing out concerns from teaching faculty and library facilities to transportation and infrastructure.
“But shockingly, the government and the department want the enrollment of the colleges to increase tremendously when our institutions are in such deplorable condition. Had the government and the department treated us equally to the rest of our brothers and sisters from other districts, today there won’t be problem in registration of students in the college,” the unions stated.
