TUENSANG, APRIL 2 (MExN): The Confederation of Chang Students Union (CCSU) has written to the Director of SCERT, expressing concerns over the relocation of the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Tuensang. The CCSU stated that DIET Tuensang, which was upgraded in 1998, is located in a very congested area, due to which the concerned department had tabled a proposal for relocation of the entire institute. This, it said, was approved by the union ministry. Subsequently, the Tuensang district administration forwarded a proposal for construction of only a boy’s hostel and staff quarters below the ITI Office junction at Ngangpong village, Tuensang. The CCSU stated that this is contrary to the approved project for relocation of the entire institute. According to the CCSU, the institute consists of one main building to accommodate the office, four classrooms and one conference hall; a 61 bedded hostel for both boys and girls; one Principal’s quarter, one building with four dwelling unit for academic personnel and one building with four dwelling units for grade 4 staff. The CCSU has urged the concerned authority to nullify the present proposal to construct only the boy’s hostel and staff quarters. It appealed for the authority to identify a land where the entire campus can be accommodated and said that the confederation would extend any help to this end.
