The Chairman of All Nepal National Independent Student’s Union (Revolutionary) Sudip Khanal informed Republica that although the students’ union have been trying for a long time to form a management committee, the political parties of the district have not given a solution. Khanal said that the padlock will not be opened until the demands of the students’ union are met.
Since the management board of Panini Multiple campus has not been constituted for four years, the election of the Free Student Union (FSU) has become uncertain.
The campus located at Sandhikharka has been without a management committee for the past four years. Before this, the board of directors was formed in 2016 under the chairmanship of Chet Narayan Acharya.
According to the campus statute, there is a provision to form a campus committee in intervals of every three years. The campus management committee, which was supposed to be formed in 2019, could not be formed at that time due to various reasons.
According to campus sources, the political parties in the district have not shown interest even when the campus repeatedly requested them to form a campus management committee.
