Campus ambassadors are to be nominated in various institutes of the Nilamber Pitamber university. Stating this the Palamu district election officer cum deputy commissioner Palamu Ameet Kumar said on Friday that college management must pay attention to this nomination of campus ambassador on the campus for creating awareness among students ageing 18 and above who have not their electoral photo identity card (EPIC).
Nilamber Pitamber universiy sent in its two senior teachers namely Gobind Tiwary and Sudhanshu Tiwary along with one Dean and Financial Officer for this meeting on the special summary electoral revision convened and chaired by DC Ameet Kumar on Friday.
Ameet Kumar alluding to a lady IAS trainee sitting in the meeting and who hails from Chennai said “If this IAS probationer who has her EPIC in Chennai can have a new one here but her previous one has to be deleted.”
He said any person residing at a place for over six months can go for his EPIC provided if he has one before that is to be written off.
Ameet Kumar reminded that no voter card holder can afford to have more than one such card with him on the ground that he or she lives here and there too but will have to remain contented with just one voter card and on being found having more than one voter card may face jail term for a year.

DC turned towards SBI official attending this meeting and asked him to lend a big hand in advertisement and publicity of this special summary revision of electoral roll.
