Ram Kumari Jee, Please come to KU also. Why you are leaving KU from your agenda.

Speaking at an interaction in the capital on Friday, they said various problems have cropped up in private colleges and universities in the absence of students’ unions in such institutions. Calling for the formation of students’ unions in private campuses and in universities, Ram Kumari Jhakri, chief of the Publicity Department of the All-Nepal National Free Students’ Union (ANNFSU) accused the private universities and campuses of concentrating on profit making. “They don’t want to see the student bodies interfering in their profit-making endeavours,” she added. Kishor Singh Rathore, the president of the Nepali Congress (Democratic)-affiliated Nepal Students’ Union (NSU), said, “There is a misconception that student politics and student unions would affect the academic environment.” “Time and again, the student unions have kept track of misdeeds of the campuses and universities,” Rathore added. Mahendra Sharma, chairman of the Nepal Students Union, expressed solidarity with the protest launched by students against the Purbanchal University (PU). Demanding that their 15-point demand be met as soon as possible, the students of the Purbanchal University locked out its administrative department a month ago. Among other demands, the students of the Purbanchal University have been seeking the resignations of vice-chancellor, rector and the registrar of the PU, urging the PU to allow students to form their councils or unions in all the constituent and Purbanchal University-affiliated campuses, provide affiliation to those campuses that meet the Purbanchal University-set criteria and effectively and regularly monitor the Purbanchal University-affiliated and constituent campuses. nepalnews.com pb June 11 06
