Imphal, Mar 22 : The drive of the All Manipur Students’ Union (AMSU) and the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) for cancellation of private examination centres which includes the Komlathabi High School of Chandel district has irked the Naga Students’ Union, Chandel (NSUC).

The NSUC terms the move of AMSU-DESAM as intrusion into others` jurisdiction in the name of quality education.

The decision of the AMSU-DESAM was published in the March 20th issue of Manipur based local papers wherein the students` bodies asserted that certain private centres were using unfair means in the ongoing Classes X and XII examinations conducted by the state board and council respectively. The NSUC also rubbishes the allegation of AMSU-DESAM that teachers were helping the students in practicing unfair means.

In this regard, the NSUC stated that it has issued instructions to the OC/Invigilators, authorities of the concerned centres and that it was keeping a close vigil for the smooth conduct of the ensuing exams.

The students` body of Chandel district further asserted that the Komlathabi centre falls under its operational area and that any good suggestion from any organisation or individual was much appreciated. It however stated that the move to cancel the centre was unfortunate and uncalled for and asserted that the allegation of invigilators and authorities encouraging the students for mass copying was totally baseless and false. Rather, the NSUC and the invigilators have kept strict vigil everyday and the statement of the AMSU-DESAM is uncalled for and baseless, it added.

While appreciating the two students` bodies for taking up steps in ensuing quality education in the state, the NSUC urged the AMSU-DESAM to refrain from such intrusion in other jurisdiction in the name of quality education.

In this regard, the NSUC asserted that in the event of action being initiated by the board and council of the state against the centre, the NSUC and its federating units will take it as a bias attitude of government for which the government will be held responsible for any untoward incident or accident arising out of it.
