But the imposition of Lockdown has affected the people in the state, especially the people in the lower strata of society and this has discouraged many students from continuing their education.
The lockdown has limited people’s ways of earning and have limited their opportunities for employment. Since, the students are the future of the state and the country we humbly write to you respected sir to reduce the school fees and college Fees by 25%.
This will not only help the students monetarily but also encourage them to pursue their education with zeal knowing that the state government is behind them in their time of need, said Mr. Bansharailang Pyngrope State President, NSUI.
