No Student Union Elections for Five Years at TMBU, Leaving Students Without Leadership

Correspondent, Bhagalpur, Bihar

Students at Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University (TMBU) are facing numerous challenges. However, the university remains unaware of these issues because there is no representative to voice the students' concerns. The primary reason for this is that no student union elections have been held for the past five years.

TMBU student Hrishikesh Prakash stated that the absence of student union elections over the last five years has left students without proper representation. This situation has arisen due to internal conflicts among university officials. Although various student organizations continuously demand elections, no concrete steps have been taken in this regard.

It is noteworthy that student union elections were held in 2018 and 2019 during the tenure of former DSW Professor Yogendra. The student union plays a crucial role in university governance, as its members are also included in bodies like the Senate, Syndicate, and Academic Council. This ensures that students' concerns are effectively raised in important university meetings, ultimately benefiting them.

Students will now have elected representatives only in the upcoming academic session. Only after that will they have representation in the Senate and Syndicate.

Bhagalpur University student Hrishikesh Prakash has met with the university administration, urging them to conduct elections at the earliest to resolve students' issues as soon as
 possible.
