Imphal, June 6 : The Manipur University Tribal Students' Union (MUTSU) has expressed serious annoyance over the failure of Manipur University authority to distribute the Dr TS Gangte Memorial Gold Medal Award in Social and Cultural Anthropology (Department of Anthropology) while other awards were distributed today on the occasion of MU's 30th foundation day.
In a press release, MUTSU asked the MU authority as to why it ignored the award instituted since 2007 .
"Who has taken the money which has been deposited since December 2007", it questioned.
Saying that this year's award is supposed to be conferred to Laishram Sumati of Anthropology, the MUTSU wondered if this was the way MU authorities encourage students.
When contacted to explain the reason for not conferring the particular award this year, the authorities reportedly replied that 'it is because of the long name of Dr Thangkhomang Selpo Gangte (Dr TS Gangte)', the student body conveyed while asserting that it has never come across such a silly excuse.
Saying that it is observing and waiting responses and solutions from all organisations, civil societies and also from MU authorities, MUTSU iterated that it would not hesitate to apprise the Union Minister of the nefarious environment of the university, if necessary.
