Kangpokpi, July 12 2024: In a recent appeal to the Governor of Manipur, the Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), general headquarters voiced concerns over alleged unequal access to government job exams amidst the ongoing ethnic conflict in the state.

The KSO appeal to the Governor highlighted the disadvantaged position of Kuki-Zo students and youth in securing employment due to centralised exam centres in Imphal, which neglect candidates from hill districts like Churachandpur and Kangpokpi.

Citing the upcoming Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) main examinations primarily scheduled in Imphal, the KSO urged the Governor to establish exam centres in Churachandpur and Kangpokpi.

This would ensure equal opportunities and alleviate travel hardships exacerbated by the conflict, the KSO said in the appeal and urged the Governor for prompt intervention to rectify the imbalance.

The students' body called on the Governor's office to facilitate fair and peaceful exam conditions for all MPSC aspirants irrespective of their community background in the upcoming exams.

The appeal underscored the necessity for inclusive measures in Manipur's exam policies amid ethnic tensions, advocating for equitable opportunities for all aspirants across the state.
