SHILLONG: A delegation of the PDF (People's Democratic Alliance) lead by Auspicious L. Mawphlang has apprised the Vice Chancellor of NEHU (North Eastern Hill University) Prof. Prabha Shankar Shukla concerning various issues of the University in Meghalaya.

"We would like to express our concern over the state of affairs concerning the premier central university of the North-Eastern Region, the North Eastern Hill University. Since its inception in 1973, the North Eastern Hill University has been an important university that had shape and build the career of many students of the state and also students from different parts of the country as well as from abroad,''he said.

Mawphlang also said that the University has been the beacon of excellence, of transformation as well as enlighting the young dynamic minds of the state as well as the North-Eastern Region in general. However, in the last few years, the University witnessed an unprecedented downward spiral that has affected the administration of the University, the working environment and most importantly the students of the University.

Some of the important issues that concerns the party includes vacant post in Teaching and Non-teaching Staff, lack Of Allocation of Funds to Academic activities per the latest NIRF submitted by NEHU it clearly stated that the non-salary fund was allocated more to Infrastructure than the Academic activities thus focussing more on maintenance of infrastructure rather than boosting and upgrading the academic aspects of the University which is of paramount importance to raise the status and pride of the University.
