AIDSO condemns govt. move to ban student organisations in college polls

All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has strongly condemned the State government’s move to ban student organisations through the student union elections proposed to be held in pre-university and degree colleges.

“The State government’s idea of preventing any student organisation from entering college campuses is highly objectionable. The entire education system, including higher education, is facing several serious problems. A nation-wide people’s movement is being waged against these issues,” a press release said.

“Elections need to be held to provide a voice to students in policy making and execution. Now, the State government’s decision to keep students away from politics under the pretext of curbing political parties is nothing but an attempt to suppress student movements against the anti-student policies of its own. Student unions should function as a means of addressing problems in colleges. If student organisations are banned, organised student movements will suffer a setback,” the release said.
