The students then took a protest march till DC's office and submitted a memorandum to the deputy commissioner.
"Mangalore University is first in the state to announce the results and begin classes. It has been 12 days since classes began but still there are no permanent lecturers in government colleges. Earlier classes were conducted by guest lecturers but this year as the appointment of guest lecturers in the state is done through online submission of applications, even that is pending," they said.
As lecturers have not been appointed, students coming from faraway places find it difficult as no classes are being conducted. Hence the students led by ABVP protested demanded the state government to soon appoint lecturers.
The memorandum stated the following demands:
- Appointment of permanent lecturers soon
- Classes should be conducted by guest lecturers until permanent lecturers are appointed
- Grant of necessary infrastructure to government PU colleges
Ramesh K, ABVP state secretary, Yathish Kumar, city secretary, Rakshitha, Kalavathi and Shubha from Balmatta Women’s College among others were part of the protest.
