Classes will begin from July 7 and the teachers have promised to cooperate. The admission process will also go on normally.
The teachers of the college met principal Khogen Adhikari and the latter managed to convince them into withdrawing their resignations. “The teachers agreed to take back their resignations. They are not against the students but it had become impossible for them to continue tolerating the protests organised by the students for the wrong reasons. I understand their position,” Adhikari said.
The teachers urged the college administration to ensure that a healthy and peaceful atmosphere on the campus and to encourage academic activities. They have also asked the administration to take steps for the safety of the teaching and non-teaching employees during students agitations or similar situations.
Though the teachers have taken back their resignations, the matter has to be reported to the governing body of the college.
The students had submitted a written apology to the teachers on June 22, a day after all 30 teachers of the college put in their papers in protest against a students’ agitation.
The SFI-led students’ union had gheraoed the teachers for over 10 hours, alleging that transparency was not being maintained in the admission process. The teachers, however, denied the allegation.
