NSUI takes on Govt on behalf of SU VC

GANGTOK, 20 July: The Sikkim unit of the National Students Union of India [NSUI] has condemned the recent spate of allegations levelled against the Sikkim University Vice Chancellor by the ruling party stemming from the University’s apparent refusal to grant affiliation to the Government Degree College opened at Kyongsa, Gyalshing, recently. NSUI has lashed out against the State Government by focussing on the delay in handing over land acquired for the university at Yangyang in South Sikkim.
About the Kyongsa Degree College issue, the NSUI has demanded that the State release all official communication between it and the university to explain why affiliation was denied.
