Source: The Sangai Express / Newmai News Network

Imphal, November 02 2012: After remaining defunct for almost three years, the All Tribal Students' Union, Manipur (ATSUM) has been revived today with a new set of executives.

Thangzamuan Tombing has been elected as the new president of ATSUM, Vareiyo Shatsang as the general secretary and Majabung Gangmei as the speaker of the ATSUM for the tenure 2012-2014 .

D Stephen who is the convenor of the Joint Committee Hill Districts Students' Organisations (JCHDSO) administered the oath of office to the new ATSUM executives today.

In these three years, the JCHDSO was filling up the vacuum as ATSUM was defunct.

Due to a prolonged debate on some technical issues of All Tribal Students' Union Manipur (ATSUM), the apex tribal students' body had not been able to function smoothly since 2010 .

Having exhausted all the initiatives including appointment of the 'election commission', care-takership, appointment of search committees, the assembly of ATSUM on April 5, 2012 at Hotel Tampha, Imphal resolved that the presidents of the five hill students' organisations vizChurachandpur District Students' Union (CDSU), Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA), Naga Students' Union, Chandel (NSUC), Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZSUM) and the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS), should settle the crisis and see that the ATSUM is brought back to its vibrant self at the earliest time possible under the convenorship of the chairman, ZSUM, D Stephen.

A panel meeting of ATSUM was convened consequently on April 19, 2012 by the convenor of the five apex hills district students' organisations at the office of ZSUM, Imphal.

The All Naga Students' Association (ANSAM), Churachandpur District Students' Union (CDSU), Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA), Naga Students' Union, Chandel (NSUC), Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZSUM) and the Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) were present.

The signatories decided that the posts of the ATSUM executive council would be allotted district wise.

Accordingly, CDSU was allotted the post of president, the post of the vice-president and the general secretary were kept for further deliberation, NSUC was given the finance secretary post and resolution number 4 of the meeting provided ZSUM for the speaker who is responsible for the assembly affairs of the ATSUM.

The meeting concluded with a word of prayer by the former president SDSA.

After 6 (six) months of rigorous consultation with the federating units and student leaders of the past and present, the convenor called a meetingof ATSUM as a follow of the previous meeting i.e on April 19, 2012, the plenary meeting declared Mr Thangzamuan Tombing as the president of ATSUM, Mr.Vareiyo Shatsang as the general secretary, ATSUM and Mr.Majabung Gangmei as the speaker of the ATSUM for the tenure 2012-2014 .

The matter was duly forwarded to the care-taker for execution on or before November 2, 2012 failing which the plenary meeting endorsed the convenor to administered the oath taking.

Since the caretaker fails to execute the oath-taking ceremony during the stipulated time, the convenor as entrusted in the presence of the federating units has administered the oath taking ceremony today.

The remaining posts of the executive council/assembly affairs are 'entrusted' to be inducted by the new executive council/officials in consultation with each and every federating units.

While wishing the newly inducted team of the ATSUM the meeting solicits the support and co-operation of one and all.
