SHILLONG, MAY 31: The state BJP on Friday asked the state government to refrain from taking a hasty decision on issue like affiliation of colleges to the Captain Williamson Sangma State University.
“An issue like affiliation of colleges has longstanding ramifications, majorly impacting future generations of students; reason why the Meghalaya BJP has appealed to the state government to not take a hasty decision on the matter,” BJP chief spokesperson M Kharkrang said in a statement.
He said the party’s state unit has advised that all stakeholders be called for discussions, consensus be created and discomforts of those related with education be allayed before any such decision is taken.
“Williamson Sangma University is a recent entrant into the world of education, while NEHU is an established, prestigious name. A degree from a reputed Central University carries extra weight when it comes to higher studies and jobs, a reality that has to be taken into account before making any such decision; an arbitrary decision on such a subject can adversely affect the entire education system of our state; further scrutiny is necessary,” he added.
