Ranchi::A delegation of the Jharkhand unit of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) reached Nilay Institute, Thakurgaon on Monday, where they staged a protest and locked down the college campus. The agitation was organized in protest against alleged irregularities in the admission process, illegal collection of money in the name of scholarships, and the arbitrary attitude of the college administration.
The four-hour-long protest saw the participation of hundreds of students, who raised slogans such as “Stop looting in the name of education” and “Give students their rights.” Upon receiving information about the protest, the college chairman and secretary arrived at the scene, where a heated argument took place between NSUI leaders and the administration. To bring the situation under control, Budhmu Police Station in-charge Sanjeev Kumar, Circle Officer Sachidanand Verma, and BDO Dheeraj Kumar Prasad reached the spot and mediated between the two sides.
NSUI Jharkhand State President Binay Oraon said, “Nilay Institute is playing with the future of students. There are no permanent professors here, no basic facilities. The hostels are in poor condition, classrooms lack electricity, and there is no security arrangement. Students pay their fees but receive nothing in return except deception. This college exists only on paper, not in reality.”
Among those present during the protest were National Social Media Convener Siddharth Raj, State General Secretary Rohit Pandey, State Secretary Manohar Sahu, Ranchi Metropolitan President Satish Kesari, Rural District President Akshay Mahato, Ranchi University General Secretary Abu Rafey Ansari, Mandar College President Aman Shahzad, Vice President Abu Sanib, former President Sabir Ansari, Kunal Kesari, and several hundred students.
Under pressure from the ongoing protest, the college administration issued two fresh notices. The first directed that all hostel rooms be vacated for renovation, while the second clarified that the hostel would now be reserved only for new students of the 2025–26 session, and existing students must vacate within 15 days.
The decision has put hundreds of existing students in a difficult situation, as they currently have no alternative accommodation. Reacting to the notice, NSUI Ranchi University President Kaif Ali said, “This decision is completely dictatorial. When the college
administration has failed for years to repair or improve hostel facilities, why should students now bear the consequences? Renovation is necessary, but making students homeless is not a solution. NSUI demands that alternative arrangements be made first, and only then should repair work begin. If students are forcibly evicted, NSUI will launch a statewide agitation.”
