Haflong,April’30: The Dimasa
Students’ Union (DSU) on April 29, submitted a memorandum to Sarat
Bartoky, Minister of Education, Public Grievances and Pension, Government of
Assam during his visit to Haflong, Dima Hasao on the occasion of celebration of
the 64th Foundation Day of North Cachar Hills Autonomous
Council, Dima Hasao. The student body President Thalendra Daualgupu and general
secretary, Amol Daulagupu in its memo urged the education minister for
setting up of University and Girls Degree College at Haflong and B.Ed. College
in Dima Hasao, Technical Institute in the District and to resolve
the grievances of present Haflong Govt. College.
The memorandum stated that,
establishment of University at Haflong in Dima Hasao was its long pending
demand and even today it remained merely a dream of the people of the District
and hence the organization for the greater interest of people of Dima Hasao
District reminds its long pending demands to take necessary steps for
establishment of University at Haflong in his Minister ship. Moreover, it
has stated that most of the students from the District are Female
and there is only one Degree College i.e. Haflong Govt. College, as the
students are increasing day by day there is accommodation problem at the
College and due to the same problem last year more than 350 students got no
admission in time. So, to accommodate the passed out students and get their
education in time, the problem is not to be repeated in the future, it requests
to take necessary steps to set up Girls’ Degree College at Haflong.
Furthermore, it has maintained that the only Haflong
Govt College in Dima Hasao district established in 1961 with objective to
facilitating higher education to the youths of this District, one of the
Government College of Assam, produced many successful candidates and makes them
responsible citizens towards the district; but since 2010, the College is
facing problems of accommodation and shortage of both Teaching and non-teaching
staffs’. Therefore the DSU urges to redress the grievances of the College
such as to fill up the vacant post of Non-teaching staffs, upgradation of Boys’
Hostel, immediate appointment in the present 29 vacant posts of professors by
giving preference to the existing contractual professors for the same besides
setting up of Library at the college with equipped and full facilities. Apart
from the grievances of college education, the most and urgent requirement
of students community of the district is to immediate setting up of the
B.Ed. College at Dima Hasao District as there is no other option for Higher
studies at our district for the students of passed Degree (Arts) and has no
opportunity for attaining job in teaching component, for which the graduate
candidates are to remain unemployed increasingly. That is why, the organization
appealed to setting up of B.Ed. College in district so as to accommodate the
B.A. passed students that the students get employment in teaching component and
solve the unemployment problems.It also added that, there is no scope for
imparting technical education in Dima Hasao District till date and the students
of our district are to go outside the district which is not possible for the
poor students, as a result of which the students of this district are to remain
without technical education, thus they are forbidden for job opportunity in
technical department. Therefore, setting up of Engineering College at Diyungbra
in Dima Hasao district is urged for, which the state Government is committed to
set up the said College. Accordingly the Autonomous Council under the
leadership of CEM Deboojit Thaosen has allotted the required land at Diyungbra
in the year 2012, which is yet to start its construction work.
