Problems facing Dalits discussed at 'sansad'
TNN, Dec 12, 2010, 05.26am IST

PATNA: It was Parliament of a different kind. It did not have the
elected representatives of the people nor was there any Bill for
legislation. But it certainly provided the Dalit students drawn from
different districts of the state a platform to share their problems
and devise ways for improvement.

Patna University (PU) Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and
Inclusive Policy organized the first ever Dalit Chhatra Sansad at
geology auditorium here on Saturday in which the participants frankly
discussed the problems facing them.

Inaugurating the students' Parliament, PU vice-chancellor Shyam Lal
highlighted the problems faced by Dalit students in pursuing their
doctoral work and appealed to the intellectuals to save these scholars
from exploitation.

Bihar legislative assembly Speaker Uday Narain Chaudhary exhorted the
students to shun their inhibition and fight against social injustice.

Prominent among those who addressed this Parliament included N K Arya,
Vinay Kanth, Daisy Narain, Pramod Kumar, Kamlesh Kumari and Nagendra
Nath, all teachers.

At the outset, Ziya-ul Hasan welcomed the guests. Centre director Rama
Shankar Arya conducted the session. Pushkar Deo proposed the vote of
thanks.
