Students stand to lose



•Sir - Our attention has been attracted by the ongoing impasse between Nagaland University Vice-Chancellor and Nagaland University Teachers Association which has affected the normal functioning of Nagaland University particularly Naga Students.
As senior citizen and an observer, unlike in the past agitations all the components of the University is discontent against the present VC which shows something is wrong with the system particularly with the present VC.
Since, the University is meant for the students and people of Nagaland, for which any VC whosoever, wherever he has come from, should look after the interest of the students, teachers, staffs and the people of the state. Under no circumstances, the VC can effort to go against the wishes of the people to whom he has come to serve for. As for as the teachers concerned, whatever may be the argument for or against, if there is no peace of mind with the teachers or if the teachers are not content with the system, they cannot impart quality education for which our younger Naga generation shall be at loss. Since the teachers are the conscience keepers of the society and creator and dissemination of knowledge to the people.
Hence as concerned citizens, we opine that the VC should try to solve the problems by way of revoking the suspension order of the 10 (ten) teachers whom he has suspended, or else if his remaining as VC is a stumbling block for growth of academic development of the state, he should resign and go back in the interest of the students career and the people of the state because the interest of the Naga students is paramount important than that of individual interest because the larger interest of the Naga people should not be sacrifice at the altar of individual interest.
We are shocked that VC instead of revoking the suspension order of the two teachers demanded by the NUTA and other apex students bodies like NSF and PGSU, he has defied their request and suspended eight more teachers which means he has no concern for the welfare of the students but inviting more problems for himself and aggravating the situation, where any intelligible administrative officer with cool head will tackle situation in such a way that it will be acceptable to the aggrieved party.
In the light of the present circumstances, if the VC started suspending all the teachers he should come and teach the students or revoke the suspension order of all the teachers. Otherwise, the situation shall worsen which will go out of hand that nobody will be able to control.
Hence, we urge all the student bodies, parents and guardian, NGOs and Civil  Societies should intervene that VC should come to terms with teachers or else he has to resign and go back in the interest of the welfare of our Naga children’s and our future Naga generation.
