The State executive council meeting of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) was organised in the city at Tulsi Bhawan, Bistupur from April 19 to 20. Senior functionaries of ABVP from across the State participated in the meeting.
During the meeting the deliberations focussed on three issues--Jharkhand's current education situation, progress made in higher education and present political scenario.
On the last day the executive council members of the ABVP passed resolutions aimed at bringing about improvement in higher education system in the State. Several resolutions were passed out of which the students’ body demanded appointment of vacant seats in various educational institutes.
"Resolutions were also passed asking the state government to stop mushrooming of private education coaching firms, which fleeces money from students through fraudulent means," said a member.
He said that lack of teachers is one of the major challenges for the universities. The Government should ensure that teachers also equip themselves with knowledge of international standards to give their best to the students and produce human intellectual power of a higher order. He said the teachers had no right to sit back and rest on their laurels. They needed to update themselves steadily.
