SUS and EILLM students seek HRDD intervention on behalf of students

GANGTOK, 11 Sept: Student’s Union of Sikkim [SUS] and students of EILLM University today submitted a joint memorandum to the Human Resource and Development Department seeking the department’s intervention in the ongoing EILLM University problem.
The letter submitted has demanded a written assurance regarding the authenticity of the EIILM University from the department.
“Since a raid was conducted in the University, we feel that our career is at stake. We want the HRDD to make an intervention in solving the ongoing problem”, said a 3rd year B. Tech student, Ganesh Tamang.
According to the students, no classes have been conducted since the raid.
“We are worried as no classes have been held and the faculty too are saying that they will start teaching only after the issue is resolved”, said Amrit Rai, a BBA student.
The students and SUS members are also demanding that the Department conduct a joint press conference along with the EIILM Officials.
The letter has also demanded the resignation of the Registrar and the Director of the University.
On the other hand, the Secretary HRDD has said that the Department has taken the plea of the students seriously and will act on it.
“I have requested the students to give a month’s time to the University to submit the detailed report regarding the ongoing ruckus. HRDD director is constantly trying to reach the Vice-Chancellor of the EIILM University but has not been able to do so”, said Secretary HRDD, CS Rao.
