AURSA reiterates its charter of demands
SILCHAR, August 12: Assam University Research Scholars’ Association (AURSA) reiterating its demands for adequate infrastructure of research scholars submitted a memorandum to the Vice Chancellor.
The Association expressing its happiness at the new guidelines of the UGC that research scholars holding fellowship have to attend the university at least three days in a week said that in order to implement the guideline in the Varsity there was a need of building a minimum infrastructure for the interest of the research scholars.
They demanded a scholars’ common room having library and Internet facilities in every department so that they could do research works easily. “Scholars face difficulties to be in the department as they do not have any common room. They have either to roam or to sit in any of the teachers’ room. A common room with library and Internet facilities will attract the scholars to come to the department and will also be helpful for them to conduct their research works smoothly,” said Joydeep Goswami, secretary, AURSA. Goswami also pressed for separate hostel accommodation for the outsiders. “If the outside scholars get accommodation in the hostel, they can regularly be present in their respective departments and can conduct a quality research work.” The Association also demanded not to withdraw the non NET scholarship.
However, the Association expressed its gratitude to the authority for fulfilling its earlier demand of providing a separate university bus for the M.Phil and PhD scholars from Silchar.
