By Dr. Anjali Rajan : Elections of students representatives in Colleges and State Universities of Uttar Pradesh has become a big nuisances and hazardous. This has completely educational atmosphere of state run educational institutions. The good part of the issue is that only private educational institutions are still aloof with this election issue or having low affairs without affecting the teaching atmosphere.
In Bareilly, both at M.J.P Rohilkhand University and Bareilly College, Bareilly the election atmosphere is completely charged with the politics of irrelevant issues. None of the would be student leader has pro-educational or pro-student issues in this election. The University and College campuses have been irrationally pasted with posters and stickers besides huge hoardings and banners outside the campus gates to allure the students strength which is about 21000 to gather in both the institutions.
The state and educational institutional administrations has nothing to say or interfere with as the contestants are fully supported by the local political leaders and are playing there part silently. The Samajwadi led state government has given free hand to the contestant in the election to prove or disprove there worth which is quite against the guidelines laid down by the J. M. Lyndoh Committee report.
The need of the hour is the affective arrangements by the state administration for peaceful conducting of elections and handling of hooligans with iron hands so that the temples of education shall be spared with the cozy colors of politics for better interest of students.
