All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has demanded immediate resignation of director of technical education due to the latter’s failure to furnish information on alleged misappropriation of scholarship funds.
In a letter on May 25, the union warned the director and the directorate not to add “more fuel to the fire” on the matter that occurred due to the department’s “corrupt way of functioning”.
ANCSU cautioned that failure to comply with its demand would invite strong retaliation from the student community. It said it would not accept any excuses or clarification on the issue.
This was stated in a press release issued by ANCSU president Katho P Awomi and general secretary Vimeyiekho Vitso.
In a letter to the director Technical Education, ANCSU president Katho P. Awomi and vice president Vimeyiekho Vitso pointed out that despite seeking information on misappropriation of scholarship funds, the department failed to respond and rather made attempts to shield those officers and staff involved.

Failing to fulfill the demand of the union, ANCSU said the director will be held fully responsible for any untoward incident that my occur.
ANCSU stated that the union was compelled to demand the director’s resignation since the latter had continually failed to uphold and protect the welfare of the students’ community.
