Dimapur, May 28 (MExN): The Dimapur Rengma Students’ Union (DRSU) has extended its support and solidarity to the stand taken by the Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) against the proposed shifting of the Government Hindi Institute, Dimapur, to the In-Service Teacher Training Institute at Medziphema under Chümoukedima district.
In a statement, the union expressed serious concern over the proposed relocation of one of the long-standing educational institutions from Dimapur, stating that it has served students from different communities across Nagaland for decades.
The DRSU said shifting the institute outside Dimapur would create unnecessary hardship for many students and gradually weaken the educational importance and institutional presence of the commercial hub.
It maintained that educational infrastructure established in the district over many years should be strengthened and protected instead of being relocated without wider consultation and public consensus.
The union also questioned whether all possible alternatives for improving and optimising the existing campus had been properly explored before taking such a significant decision.
According to the DRSU, matters concerning educational institutions and student welfare must be approached with transparency, inclusiveness and long-term public interest.
The union appealed to the government to reconsider the proposed shifting of the Government Hindi Institute and retain it in Dimapur in the greater interest of the student community.
It further urged responsible organisations, student bodies and citizens to collectively safeguard institutions that contribute to educational growth and accessibility for the people.
