Shillong, Oct 12: The North Eastern Hill University Teachers’ Association (NEHUTA) held a rally and staged dharna against the adamant attitude and gross violations by the Vice Chanceller of NEHU, Prof. P.S. Shukla, on Thursday in the Shillong campus.

The teachers demanded the VC to call for a special/emergency meeting of the Academic Council to discuss the inappropriate implementation of the NEP 2020 at the UG (Under Graduate) level in the affiliated colleges of NEHU without the approval of the Academic Council.

NEHUTA president Lakhon Kma said the teachers have urged the VC to convene academic council meeting numerous times but the VC hasn’t convened one yet. Further, he accused the VC of being whimsical, ignoring all rules, regulations and ordinances of the university.

He also emphasised that NEHUTA is not demoing Prof. Shukla’s resignation at this point but want him to acknowledge their genuine demands and discuss them.

He further stressed that the Academic Council is the apex body on making decisions on academic matters but the VC has disregarded them.

He further said, “NEHU have seen the worst kind of VC in Prof PS Shukla in decades who is illogical, arrogant, and insensitive and ready to violate all well-established procedures and NEHU Act, Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations so openly to suit his ego.”

The association warned to further intensifying their agitation if the VC continues in his style of functioning.

NEHUTA also shared a dossier of 13 points highlighting the gross violations by the VC in a span of just two years in the office.
