Students also have their roles to play in ongoing movement for implementation of ILP system in Manipur to check rampant influx of outsiders. However, in this movement, students are taking pat by staying away from their studies, thus defying the duty of a student.
The role of students is to learn knowledge from teachers, but students are taking part in the movement by organizing rallies, shouting slogans, etc. Consequently, many problems have been created in students' life. Many students got injured in police action. Such injuries create mentally disturbances in studies.
Now-a-days, many issues are happening in Manipur very frequently. Calling bandhs and blockades give so much burden to the learning process. Instead of giving more emphasis in study, students are giving more attention to other things. This keeps the students far away from their study.
In this modern competitive world, other students are focusing on their study without any unpleasant environment but in Manipur students cannot focus on their study, because of various issues. This discourages the students and may even lead them to wrong ways.
Again look at the ongoing movement for ensuing implementation of ILP system in Manipur, parents are trying to prevent their children from going to schools because, they love their children and do not want to see them hurt in case of police action. And, on other hand, because of the movement there has been long disturbance in the study.
So, the teachers also take classes very quickly to complete the syllabus. This will make it very difficult for the students to comprehend what was being taught in the class rooms.
Moreover, by calling bandhs, blockades, etc. or closing down the schools, the students could not attend class. So, this also gives many chances to students to indulge in unwanted activities like smoking, using drugs to past their time.
Again students will not be able to give good performance in their examination due to lack of proper study. So, such type of movements, howsoever important, should be launched in such a way there is no adverse impact on the school going students.
There is one saying "Students are the pillar of the Nation". So, for a good nation, well-trained, knowledgeable students are needed. For a good nation, well behaved and good character students are needed. For this, the co-operation of the society is required. The school going students should not be given any kind of of harassment.
Giving harassment is like breaking the nation. Students should be kept away from tension and social misunderstandings. Students are like the roots of the plant. Without the roots, we don't know what will happen to the plant.
