The Confederation of Tribal Alumni Nagaland (CTAN) and Nagaland Net Qualified Forum (NNQF) have warned of renewed protests after the Nagaland government failed to fully meet their demands regarding the appointment of 147 contractual Assistant Professors.
At a joint press conference, the groups acknowledged the government’s decision to revoke the controversial Cabinet Order but expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in requisitioning the posts to the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) for open advertisement. “The two demands are two sides of the same coin,” they stated, rejecting partial solutions.
Accusing the government of using “despicable tactics” to undermine their protest, the organizations stressed the need for permanent faculty selected through transparent procedures to enhance academic standards. They rejected the formation of new committees, calling them “systematic devices to delay and kill the issue.”
Meanwhile, the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has called for a mass protest on April 29, mobilizing volunteers to assemble at NSF Oking, Kohima, by 8:30 AM. The Angami Students’ Union (ASU) has also directed strong participation. Protesters are demanding the formal revocation of the Cabinet decision and restoration of merit-based recruitment practices.
