DIMAPUR: Dimapur Rengma Students’ Union (DRSU) has extended full support and solidarity to the stand taken by the Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) against the proposed shifting of the Government Hindi Institute, Dimapur to the In Service Teacher Training Institute at Medziphema under Chümoukedima district.
Expressing serious concern, DRSU said the relocation of one of Dimapur’s long standing educational institutions, which has for decades served students from diverse communities across Nagaland, would create unnecessary hardship for many students and gradually weaken the educational importance of Dimapur. It stressed that educational infrastructure established in the district should be strengthened and protected rather than relocated without wider consultation and public consensus.
The union further questioned whether all possible alternatives for improving and optimizing the existing campus had been explored before taking such a significant decision. It maintained that matters concerning educational institutions and student welfare must be approached with transparency, inclusiveness and long term public interest. DRUS therefore appealed to the government to reconsider the proposed shifting and urged that the institute be retained in Dimapur for the greater interest of the student community. It also called upon responsible organizations, student bodies and citizens to collectively safeguard institutions that contribute to educational growth and accessibility.
