Dimapur, August 22 (MExN): The PGSU (SETAM) has decided to boycott the MBA classes for two days on August 23 and 24, 2011. A press note issued by Y. Abraham Konyak, general secretary, PGSU, SETAM stated that this move was taken in order to show solidarity to the grievances and issues faced by SETAM Engineering Students’ Council and also to pressurize the NU authorities. However, the union stated that it will continue with the boycott if the matter is not solved within the short time.
The union in the note also requests the NU authorities to solve the problems as earliest as possible. “The authorities are destroying the career of the students by delaying in solving the problems. The students have been missing class for more than two week which is a very serious matter,” the union stated in the note. The union also expresses shock that in IT department there is not even a single faculty. The union said that the matter has to be immediately solved so that the students can begin their classes. The PGSU further urges the NU authorities to appoint the administrative in charge immediately as all the works are in pending which can’t be forwarded without the administrative in charge.

SETAM students to shut down institution
Dimapur, August 22 (MExN): Students of School of Engineering, Technology & Management (SETAM) today informed that the office of the institution would be shut down as the university, Nagaland University, has failed to meet the demands of the students.
The Students’ Council of SETAM said there has yet to be any positive response till now since the students’ council commenced agitations since August 8. “The university has done great injustice to the students by sending one of the permanent faculty of IT department for higher students knowing that there is only two permanent faculty,” the students’ council stated in a note today.
Instead of solving the problems, the students’ said, the university is “playing safe” by blaming the outgoing vice chancellor Prof K Kannan. “The students have patiently waited for four years for the development of SETAM knowing that the institute is newly established but the university has put no effort in developing SETAM and the students can no longer wait for the ‘process’ as the university officials always mentions when our college issues are being discussed,” the students lamented.
Until the demands are met, the students won’t be attending classes and the university “will be solely responsible as the careers of the SETAM students are at stake,” the SETAM students’ council stated.
