Imphal, June 30 2025: The Coordinating Committee on Disturbance Free Educational Zone Demand formed by DESAM and 15 other organisations including student bodies, teachers' organisations, guardians' organisations and transport organisations has lined up rallies at three places to mark the 18th Disturbance Free Education Zone Demand Day 2025.Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, the Coordination Committee convenor and DESAM president Mayengbam Somorjit said that the committee has been observing July 5 as Disturbance Free Education Demand Day since 2008 with the primary objective of keeping the education sector away from all kinds of disturbances.

He said that the development of a Nation or region depends on the human resources generated by the Nation's education system.

Unfortunately, the State's education sector is often plagued by many types of disturbances.

The 18th Disturbance Free Education Zone Demand Day 2025 would be observed with rallies at three places under the theme "Make Education a Disturbance Free Zone".

For Imphal East and Imphal West district, the rally would be held from THAU Ground to Imphal College.

For Kakching and Thoubal districts, the rally would be flagged off from BASU Ground and wrapped up at Thoubal college.

For Bishnupur district, the rally would be held from DSA Ground to ECHO Thiyam Leikai community hall, Mayengbam Somorjit said.

He then appealed to all armed groups not to make unaffordable demands, both in cash and kind, to educational institutes.

He also appealed to the Government not to politicize educational institutes.

Somorjit urged the Government to enact a law which makes it mandatory for all educational institutes to have at least 220 days of class in a year.

There should be no room for corruption, nepotism and favouritism in all activities related to education, he said.

The DESAM president appealed to the Government to take up necessary steps so as to appoint Directors of Education(S) and Education(U) from amongst eligible teachers.

He further appealed to the Government to make education a disturbance free zone and appealed to all students above standard VIII, teachers, guardians and the general public to join the scheduled rallies.

He also appealed to all sections of people not to call any bandh or undertake any activity which may hinder the rallies scheduled on July 5 .
