Dimapur, April 17 (MExN): Accusing the Nagaland State Government of “absolute negligence” towards the welfare of the students’ community, ANCSU today reminded the Chief Minister TR Zeliang to look into the burning issues of the technical education department and solve it “once and for all”.
The Union, on March 29, had submitted a letter to the Chief Minister stating its non acceptance of the Government Notification on March 16 that made certain changes in eligibility criteria for seat in NSEE state reserved quota.
Among other things, the notification said that category III for selection includes those candidates who are non-local indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland and children of non-local state government employees and children of All India Service Officers borne on Nagaland cadre.
Expressing its shock and dismay, the Union had said that the reviewing and cabinet approval of the eligibility criteria of category III was beyond its limited understanding.
This is a great concern for the students’ career, said the All Nagaland College Students’ Union in a press statement issued through its President, Zhoku Thuluo and General Secretary Benjong Longchar.
However, ANCSU said that Chief Minister of Nagaland has not replied to the ANCSU till date, which shows the absolute negligence of the state government for the students’ community, it said.
In this connection, the ANCSU has called upon all the intending candidates of Nagaland State Entrance Examination [(NSEE) state reserved quota], parents, well wishers, social activists, ANCSU senior leaders and concerned citizens for a consultative meeting on April 19 at the LCS building, conference hall, Kohima (Near Ao Church) at 11:00 am.
