Chumoukedima, Nagaland, September 17 (HBTV): The All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has asked the department of Higher and Technical Education to detach all assistant professors and associate professors in the government colleges and Higher Education Department.

The ANCSU issued a copy of a letter addressed to the commissioner and Secretary of Higher and Technical education expressing displeasure at the “attachment policy” of the government.   

‘It is ascertained that government colleges in Nagaland continue to suffer from shortage of teachers but the department is least concerned and never serious about the critical grievances being faced by students,’ the statement said.   

In this regard, the ANCSU has appealed to the Higher and Technical Department to immediately ‘disengage’ all the ‘attached’ teachers and assign them to their respective posted institutions. 

Failure in addressing this concern on priority will invite ‘confrontation with the students’ community,’ the ANCSU stated. The union also demanded ‘post creation’ and recruitment through the Nagaland Public Service Commission to ensure proper functioning of all the institutions under the higher education establishment, the statement stated.
