Imphal, June 23 2013: Several tribal student bodies of Manipur including that of Indira Gandhi National Tribal University-Regional Campus Manipur (IGNTU-RCM) today demanded the President of India and higher authority that the Vice-Chancellor of the IGNTU-RCM be removed from his post for misdeeds while threatening to close down the varsity within June 25 for allegedly ignoring its demands by the authority.

A joint meeting of tribal students including that of IGNTU-RCM was held today in Imphal during which it was demanded that the incumbent VC of the varsity be removed from his post on various grounds.

Neither ordinance for the Regional Campus Manipur has been formulated nor its director has been appointed till date, according to a release.

It alleged that authority of the varsity has introduced a oneyear course for M Phil programme against UGC guidelines and it has never given approval for organizing workshop and study tour despite repeated request.

The authority of this varsity never looks into the matter pertaining to basic needs like faculties, infrastructure, and the library that has no facilities of computer, internet and Xerox machine, and the lack of hostel and transport facilities and the acute shortage of books against the syllabus.

It further alleged that there is a vague reservation policy in respect of teaching, non-teaching staff recruitment process and as well as in the admission process.

The students will be compelled to close down the varsity indefinitely by June 25 for non-compliance with the demands which are genuine, it threatened.
