The Punjab Students Union (PSU) today elected its new college committee at Lyallpur Khalsa College. While Anil and Sonia were elected as the college president for girls and boys, respectively, Karan Singh was elected as secretary PSU and Radha as financial manager.
A seven-member committee was elected unanimously. The PSU has been raising its voice against the student rights, particularly SC/ST students from past several years. A wide range of protest were organised by the Union members to pressurise the government to release funds under post-matric scholarship scheme.
Meanwhile, students of the union also demanded that the portals of the post-matric scholarship scheme should be opened immediately for the students enrolled under the scheme.
District President Varjeet Kaur and district secretary Ramandeep Kaur stated that apart from the scheme, they should also be provided forms for bus passes. “Even as the colleges have been opened, students commuting from distant place to their colleges are unable to use roadways services. Hence college managements should release the forms for the convenience of the students,” he said. — TNS
