Three years after the set-up of Government Degree College Kangan in Central Kashmirs Ganderbal district, the institute continues to face acute shortage of furniture and other basic facilities, students complained.
The students who are studying in the school also criticized the education department for its negligence and said they have approached the authorities several times over the hardships faced by the students but to no avail.
According to the students, the college is also grappling with shortage of permanent staff.
Sources said that the only principal and another staff member are permanent while rest of the teaching faculty is engaged on the contractual basis.
The students urged higher ups of the education department to look into the matter and fulfil their demands at earliest.
Amir Farooq, a local student said, “In case the government failed to fulfil their demands, we will take streets against them.”
He said that the college currently runs in the ITI building as the main college building is still under construction and may take more years for the completion.
Mehraj-ud-din, another student said, “The frequent presence of locals and animals in the college premises is irking them as the building is without proper fencing,” he said.
