GUWAHATI, OCT 29 – The AASU has reiterated its demand to remove politicians from the governing body of all educational institutes of the State. The Government, it may be mentioned, had issued an order seeking removal of all the politicians from the governing body of the educational institutes.

However, another notification from the Principal Secretary, Education (Higher) issued on October 9 conceded that majority of the colleges are yet to abide by the earlier notification and further issued a fresh order stating that the senior most of the two University-nominated would be appointed as the interim-chairman of the governing body of those colleges, which still has politicians in the governing body.

Asked to comment, AASU adviser Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya, “We demand that the same rule be made applicable not only for colleges but for all theeducational institutes in the State.”
