Law students in Nagaland lag behind, states NLSF

DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 12 (MExN): The Nagaland Law Students’ Federation (NLSF) has sent a memorandum to the controller of examination and vice chancellor of Nagaland University highlighting the plight of law students in Nagaland, asking for their grievances to be addressed immediately.

Following the NLSF General Assembly of all law colleges in Nagaland on February 10, the memorandum has asked the authority concerned to “declare the result of the LL.b Semester examination within 60 days of writing examination as per UGC norms.” Other grievances that the students’ body has asked for a positive response for include: to give examination routine 30 days before the commencement of semester examination, to make LL.b mark sheet computerized which is handwritten now and to set up separate Law department under Nagaland University.

The memorandum has been signed by the president of NLSF, Kehounei-u and general secretary, Hotoka Zhimo. It states that it is “disheartening to note that the Law students are facing a lots of problems due to the lackadaisical attitude and step motherly treatment given to Law students of Nagaland by Nagaland University which is greatly effecting and hampering the career of the Law students.”

This attitude of the University “for so many years without any response from the authority concerned,” has put students of law in Nagaland behind other universities for almost one academic year. The NLSF has thus requested the authority concerned to “take up the case with outmost sincerity and give us immediate positive response failing which Law Federation will adopt democratic means of agitation to make our voice heard.”
