Imphal, June 28 2016:
Maintaining that ITI campus Takyel it is not
the suitable place for opening Manipur Technical University,
Manipuri Students Federation (MSF) has urged the Government
to open the varsity at a suitable location.
MSF general secretary Romio Keisham said that ITI Takyel
was established in 1959 at the present site.
Many students including those from poor family back-
ground had got jobs after getting training from the institute,
he said.
However, the Government had recently decided to shift ITI
from the present campus without giving any information to the
Principal and authority concerned, Romio said.
Saying that the present campus is still facing infrastructure
inadequacy, Romio questioned whether the Government is
trying to abolish the institute by shifting the institute to another
place.
Although, MSF welcomes the decision to establish Manipur
Technical University, the student body would never allow to
shift ITI from Takyel, he cautioned.
