'No matter where do you belong, you are an Indian', said the Director of Dewan Vidya Sagar Institute of Engineering & Technology [DVSIET], Meerut.
The management had organized a meeting of all the North East Students studying here at this institute on 17th of January, the last working day of Odd Semester 2010-11. The meeting was attended by around 25 NE students, including a lecturer belonging to Assam, some faculty members of the institute, Director of B.Tech, and Mr. C.S. Sharma from the Management committee.
The purpose of the meeting was to share the problems and difficulties that the NE students have been facing in the last 6 months. It is interesting to note that there was not a single NE students in the institute in the last year and presently there are more than 40 students from this region including states like Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam & Arunachal Pradesh. DVSIET also has around 10 students from Bhutan.
Interestingly, the Director shared his story of his NE visit in the past. He talked about the beauty of the 8 sisters of the North India. 'I was really amazed and happy to hear that he has also been to Sikkim and even worked for a couple of years there' said Amit Gupta from Gangtok, B.Tech 1st year student.
'On looking at the fact that students from all across India and even outside India are coming to Meerut for further studies, it wouldn't be wrong on saying that Meerut is growing as one of the education hub of India and it will surely develop more on coming days' said one of the MBA faculty.
Discussion was also done for the formation of North East Students Association in the coming days. Meanwhile director strictly said that the formation of the association should only be meant for unity but not for protests and demands. Only 2 post are to be held by the students, i.e. president and vice president. The post is to be given on the basis of election to be held after the college reopens.
'Samosa, biscuits and tea were also served, which was really unexpected', said Amir Bhandari and laughed, B.Tech 2nd Year student.
The meeting went on for almost 1 and half hour and the director concluded by giving a piece of advice to the students about studying at their best and keeping up the expectation of their parents, teachers and the society.
