The Ravenshaw Bikash Abhijan (RBA) organsied a citizens’ convention near the Netaji Subash Bose statue here on Saturday against the “illegal” move take by the Ravenshaw University authorities to hold indirect elections for students’ bodies.
RBA president Chittaranjan Mohanty said the university Vice-Chancellor has failed to undertake development works in the university. He alleged that due to the failure in recruiting permanent faculties the educational process is hampered. In this situation, to hide his faults, he is taking decisions, the consequences of which are also not known to him. RBA members threatened that if the indirect election decision is not rolled back, they would intensify their protest in the coming days.
Among others, Akshay Das, Khirod Mahapatra, Jugal Nayak, Prasant Das, Kamuludin Ahmed, Sheikh Abdulla, Khageswar Sethi, Prasant Panda, Geeta Das, Sisir Parija and Harisankar Rout were present.
