Port Blair, Apr 05: Mr. Saurav Nair, State General Secretary, National Students Union of India demanded Lt. Governor, A&N Islands for conducting of campus interviews, Job Fairs and installation of free Wi-Fi in all colleges of A&N Islands.
In a letter addressed to the Lt. Governor, A&N Islands, Mr. Nair stated that there are a total of nine government colleges functioning in A&N Islands but no Campus interviews are conducted in these colleges which hampers the job opportunity of the Islander students.
He suggested that the A&N Administration should tie-up with private companies of A&N Islands and mainland states in order to conduct campus interviews and provide the opportunity for employment for the graduating students.
Further, he highlighted that according to the directives of MHRD all universities and colleges of states/UTs should make their campus digital by providing internet services for free and installing Wi-Fi facilities. The deadline to complete the process of the Wi-Fi campus was given as August 2018.
Mr. Nair stated that no actions are initiated by A&N Administration in order to provide free Wi-Fi facilities inside any campus for students.
He further stated that the A&N Administration conducts a “Job Fair” every year in the capital city Port Blair which comes under South Andaman District. Due to no proper or timely transportation connectivity between different Islands, thousands of students residing outside Port Blair cannot participate in the Job Fair. Mr. Nair demanded to conduct Job Fairs separately in all 3 Districts of A&N Islands.
He requested the Lt. Governor to direct A&N Administration to look into the plight of the student community of A&N Islands and take appropriate action in students’ interest.
