The National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress party has decided to launch an agitation on shortage of teachers in the government colleges of the state.
The district vice president of NSUI, Nityanand Kothiyal informed media persons at DAV PG college here on Saturday that a delegation of NSUI leaders had met the minister of state for higher education, Dhan Singh Rawat on July 14 and submitted a memorandum that teachers should be deployed in all vacant position in the government colleges.
He said that the minister had assured the delegation that the teachers in all the colleges would be done before August 1.
Kothiyal said it is unfortunate that no action on the assurance of minister was taken and the students are forced to study sans teachers. He added that given the present scenario, the appointment of teachers in near future appears very remote.
The NSUI leader said that the state government is playing with the future of students by not providing teachers.
The NSUI leader said that all those colleges where teachers are in shortage would be closed by NSUI on August 27 and on August 31, the NSUI workers would organise a march to state secretariat.
