Post MoU, MUSU calls off agitation

IMPHAL, Feb 15 : Protest agitation undertaken by the Manipur University Students’ Union (MUSU) following alleged irregularities committed by Manipur University authority in recruitment of teachers for the university has been called off. MUSU called off the agitation after an MoU was signed between MU authority and MUSU on six points at Hotel Anand Continental today evening.

Speaking to reporters after signing the MoU, MUSU president Ksh Narayan said that their agitation has been called off after the MU authority considered their charter of demands sub-mitted earlier and an agreement was made on six points between the two sides during a meeting tonight.

MUSU launched its agitation on February 11 along with sealing offices of the VC, Pro-VC and Registrar for allegedly indulging in gross irregularities during DPC for recruitment of Professors and Lecturers.

The points of agreement signed between the two sides today are resumption of the recruitment process for faculty members in various disciplines which remained cancelled since the afternoon of February 10 from February 28.

Keeping the number of vacancies for faculty positions unaltered from the figures advertised earlier, adopting uniform screening process/criteria by maintaining transparency and accountability in the subsequent recruitment process and expedition of promotion of university teaching and non-teaching staff who are already due under Career Advancement Scheme are other points of the MoU.

Another point is that the Vice-Chancellor, Pro-VC and the Registrar being top functionaries of the University should ensure that no lapses recur in the recruitment process in future.

The MoU was signed between VC Prof Ch Amuba, Pro-VC HNK Sharma and Registrar L Lokendro from the side of MU authority and MUSU president Ksh Narayan, general secretary Ananda Chongtham and president of MU Research Club Maibam Ratankumar from MUSU’s side.
