Dimapur, Sep. 25 (EMN): The Naga Students Federation has on Monday requested the Minister for Department of School Education to ensure early distribution of study materials and school in the government schools.
In a letter to the minister appended by President Kesosul Christopher Ltu and General Secretary Imtiyapang Imsong the federation stated that on physical verification in the government school it was found out that there was delay in the distribution.
"...the Naga Students Federation with all its Federating Units undertook several rounds of physical verification to various Government Schools. And it is our utter dismay to discover that in the past few years and for the current academic session there has been serious delay in distribution of texts books. We also identified that several schools had faced problems due to shortage of supply of study materials to the students too. In addition to this, in almost all the schools, the uniforms were distributed in the middle of the academic session. On verification, the students were not distributed with proper readymade uniforms but just cloth materials," stated the federation.
The federation therefore requested the minister to make necessary arrangements on distribution of study materials and readymade school uniforms or uniform materials with stitching cost so that the students would be able to avail the facilities on time before the start of their academic sessions.
" However, failure on the part of the department to redress this matter would only compel the Federation to resort to its own course of action," the federation further stated.
