ANTA urges

CHANDEL, Jul 31 : The Anal Naga Tangpi/Anal Naga Union (ANTA) has urged the Directorate of University & Higher Education to rectify its recent order which downgraded United College, Lambung to the lowest category by providing only one subject for the Honors With Research course and just four for the Honors course.
In a press release, ANTA said that as per the order issued on July 30, only one subject, Political Science, is available for the Honors With Research course while English, Physics, Education and Zoology are available for the Honors course at United College.
Saying that the study of remaining important subjects under different departments have been clustered to other colleges and institutions, ANTA termed it an act of negligence and disrespect to the people of Chandel.
It reasoned that Chandel district is one of the most backward districts in the State with an economically weak general population who find it difficult to pursue further studies by travelling far distances. ANTA also pointed out the convenient location of United College, Lambung at the District Head Quarter of Chandel which makes it a "centre point".
Saying that dropping of important subjects from the College will degrade the percentage of students enrolling for higher education, it added that it will also bring irreparable loss to the youths in the district. ANTA has thus urged the Directorate to rectify the order in the interest of the people in Chandel district.
