Imphal, December 16:
'There has been no dearth of fund for development of education in Manipur University after it was upgraded to the status of a Central University.
The only thing missing at the university today is the desire of the students to learn and work hard with sincerity and dedication'.
This was stated by Dean of Students' Welfare of Manipur University Prof Md Islamuddin at the occasion of a reception function hosted by Manipuri Students' Federation (MSF) in honour of all the candidates of college students' union election, 2007-08 at the hall of Manipur Hindi Parishad here today.
Md Islamuddin, who was the chief guest of the function, however, noted that lack of genuine desire on the part of the students to work hard and pursue their study with dedication and sincerity is not an isolated case in Manipur University alone.
But something which is to be found in all the educational institutions of the State today.
He said that there is no question of lack of fund for development of infrastructures related to improvement of the educational standard in Manipur University after it has become a Central University.
But lack of interest on the part of the students in their studies is something that should be taken care of at the movement.
AMUCO advisor Dhanabir Laishram and president of MSF Ch Rupachandra attended the reception functional as guest of honour and functional president respectively.
In his address, Dhanabir Laishram expressed serious concern over the increasing number of educated unemployed youths in the State and said that this has retarding the developmental pace of the State.
Lack of sincerity on the part of the political leaders, negligence of duty by the students and absence of motivation among the civil societies are other factors that has contributed to the underdevelopment of the State as a whole, he added.
Among the invitees who spoke at the occasion, Associate Professor of Manipur University Chinglen Maisnam stressed on concerted effort among the students, politicians and representatives of the social organisation toward working achieving a common goal under a common vision.
