The Naga Students’ Union Mizoram, (NSUM) extended its firm solidarity and support to the Dimapur Naga Students’ Union, (DNSU) in addressing the critical issue of biased appointment of Assistant Professors under the Department of Higher Education.

Expressing deep disappointment over the alleged lack of transparency, fairness, and adherence to merit-based selection in the recent recruitment process, the Union stated, “It is disheartening to witness such irregularities in a sector as vital as education, where integrity and equal opportunity must be the foundation of of all appointments. We believe that any form of nepotism, favoritism, or political interference in public recruitment violates the principles of justice but also undermines the future of qualified youth who have worked hard to meet academic and professional standards.”
