University Of Allahabad : Students and Officials

Friends, we are having some drizzling news by electronic media and print media about mishap between students and officials in Allahabad University. News which are late as well as masqueraded . Masqueraded in the sense that the route of the problem is a thing which is never disclosed.The conflict has taken place in Allahabad University had just one issue of evacuating all the university hostels immediately after the exams for the ongoing academic session get over.

Against the decision students were on a peaceful strike.On 26th April 2012 there was dead face of democracy since tear gas, bombs,batons and air firing were used by police on the students to suppress their voice.University officials are saying that eviction of hostelers is mandatory to get rid of illegal students in Allahabad University.

Here are some of mine views on this issue:-

• It is responsibility of the officials to keep a record of Students whether they have paid the hostel fee properly that is to identify the illegal students. Now officials are blindly evacuating all the hostels irrespective of the records.
• Allahabad University is a central university and has students from remote and distant areas of the country. So in this short period of notice how can they search new rooms, P.G. or private hostel .In that case just imagine the security issues of the girls.
• Upcoming months are packed with the competitive exams for most of the students.In such situations those students can pay summer fee since there is proper provision of that in the university. In spite of that if such bureaucracy will be shown by the officials then there would be worst effects on student's preparation. 
• Officials are talking about filing FIR and taking strict administrative steps against students. Had they ever thought to visit the students who were beaten abruptly till unconsciousness. Not just boys but girls were also beaten and treated roughly.What a brave persons were there in police/force who fought the unarmed country's future.Bravo !
•  This misery is about two weeks old but during high level involvement ,media didn't raise their voice and now news are having statements of the officials blaming students only. There are photographs of a burning bus but not a single photograph of police taking charge on helpless students or students admitted to the hospitals. Some of them are seriously injured.
• Student union was already dissolved by the officials. Though the student union has always been a moot point, but in such cases there is no any strong representative of the students voice.

Students Against Administration !!

The death on 29th march, 2011 of AKSHYA TYAGI was 3rd death in last 2 years in IIIT Allahabad.Students told that it was all because of management negligence of the institute.So on 31th March students started the protest.It was called off on Apr 6, 2011.This is not the only incident that shows the confilcts between students and the institutes.There have been many such conflicts so far.Most of these incidents took place in reputed institutes,like IITs,NITs,IIITs and other national level institutes.Here i am trying to find out the basic causes behind the scene.

Students studying in various institutes dream of a bright future .For that their guardians pay the fee to the institutes.Institutes have certain responsibilities for the students.Responsibilities like providing a better campus environment so that they can think and focus for their career.For this purpose institute has authorities/officials/management staff.

But there are many flaws in this system which are the cause of the situation.These can be pointed as following:
1.Poor infrastructure including hostels,mess,transport etc of the institutes thought management has enough resources (specially in government institutes).There are very good rented flats or PGs available in cost of the hostel and mess fee paid to the institute.
2.Undeserving/inexperienced faculty members are in teaching staff just because they are relatives/family members of management/authorities.Even a first year student knows better than these backdoor craps.
3.Authority's behavior is very rude and harsh to the students.It seems that authority persons are illiterate.They don't hesitate to abuse the girls and beating the students.
4.Not proper interaction of students to the higher authorities of the institutes .Student union is left in very few institutes.Student unions have became road to the main stream of politics.They are very less concerned about the problems of student.

Institute official just think for their own good, ignoring the consequences to be faced by the students.When the above situations take place.Then students have to raise their voice after a limit.Students try to get justice but for this they have to take some serious steps like strike ,protests etc.
It becomes war like situations sometime between officials and the students.But in this war officials have some more powers.They have the futures of the students in their hands.They give threats to the students that they will destroy their futures and careers.This creates a huge gap between students and authorities to be filled rarely.

In this game students loose their precious time to be used for study.They are mentally harassed.These things are hard to recover.
Students are the future of the country which is in RED BOOK now.
