The Gorkha Janmukti Vidyarthi Morcha (GJVM) has come up with a demand stating students of the Darjeeling hills should get to read and garner knowledge about the history of their area. This comes after the University Grants Commission recently announced that colleges and universities of the northeast should accord special status to the history of that region and teach it at the educational institutions.
Addressing a press conference here in the afternoon, GJVM vice-president Deep Thapa said colleges in the Darjeeling hills should also emulate the UGC’s decision and include the history of the region in their syllabus.
He said, “Darjeeling, Sikkim and the Dooars are not included in the Northeast Council, but students of these regions should be imparted knowledge of the history of their land.”
Thapa added the GJVM has already written to the UGC and the vice-chancellor of North Bengal University on the matter to impress upon them the seriousness in which the demand is being envisaged.
