Dimapur, November 26 (MExN): The Naga Students' Federation and the
Eastern Nagaland Students' Federation today addressed a joint
statement to the President of India demanding annulment of certain
reservation discrepancies in Nagaland University. Both the students'
organizations have demanded annulment of a recent advertisement in NU,
understood to be against norms and regulations.
The letter addressed to the President of India, also the Visitor of
Nagaland University said that Nagaland state's population constitutes
"95%" of Scheduled Tribes (ST). For this, the question of reservation
for OBC and SC does not arise, the NSF and ENSF stated. "We demand
that the reservation quota in Nagaland University be implemented in
accordance with the office memorandum from the Ministry of Personnel,
Public Grievances and Pensions Department of Personnel and Training
dated July 5, 2005 wherein it is clearly stated that Nagaland state
can avail 45% reservation in group 'C' and 'D' category of posts in
any office," the letter stated.
Likewise, the two organizations took note of a recent advertisement
published by Nagaland University on August 10, 2009. Applications were
invited for non-teaching posts in Nagaland University. "We insist upon
your esteemed self to annul the said advertisement immediately as it
is not in accordance with the mentioned office memorandum and a fresh
advertisement be published in accordance with the reservation quota
for Scheduled Tribes in all vacant posts of the non-teaching staff at
Nagaland university."
The two students' organizations also lamented the state of affairs in
Nagaland University. Since its inception in 1994, the letter said, the
university has been "crammed with controversies" and has failed to
achieve any higher level of standards. It is hampering the growth
quality education. NSF and ENSF stated.
"It is also unfortunate to mention that the present trend of the
working system under the present administration of the university is
lacking behind…" the letter added. The President of India is requested
to intervene and address these issues in Nagaland University.
