Imphal, July 14 2019:
An annual convention of All India Students' Federation (AISF), Manipur was held at Irawat Bhawan, BT Road today.
During the convention, issues/problems faced by the student community due to lack of enough universities and colleges to pursue higher education and impacts of State Government's inattention towards issues on the students were discussed among others.
At the event, convenor of AISF, Manipur State Council, RK Amusana said that the BJP led Governments in both the Centre and State are yet to take up necessary action to check the increasing rate of unemployment in the country as well as the State.
He also said that getting admission in Manipur University is not an easy task as it is the only Central University in the State and has limited seats and added that dreams of several poor students who want to pursue higher education in the State are shattered due to lack of sufficient university and institutions for higher education in the State.
Though the State Government has launched "School Fagathansi Programme" for the welfare of the students, the real issues/problems faced by the students are yet to be addressed.
If the State Government truly wants to address the plight of the students, they should also take up necessary measures to make DM University a full fledged varsity, he contended.
L Sotinkumar also spoke at the event and lauded the student bodies and AISF, MSC for their active participation in State issues apart from working to create a conducive atmosphere for the students.
CPI, Manipur State Council, State Assistant, (political) secretary, Kh Surchand Singh, State assistant (organisation) secretary, M Joykumar Singh and secretariat member and incharge of youth department, N Singhajit Singh also attended the programme among others.
