The students of NTR College of Veterinary Science at Gannavaram are demanding the immediate removal of the Associate Dean, alleging that they have been subjected to the torments and threats by the latter after they complained about the poor amenities on the campus.
The BVSc students launched an indefinite strike on June 24, demanding that Andhra Pradesh Governor and university’s Chancellor S. Abdul Nazeer look into the issue. They suspended the strike on June 26 after the college management told them that a committee would be formed to address their concerns. However, the students said that they would resume the strike if their demands were not conceded.
The college, a constituent of Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University in Tirupati (SVVU), offers Bachelor of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry (BVSc), a post-graduate and doctoral programme in the same domain.
P.V.S. Kishore took over as the Associate Dean of the college some seven to eight months ago on the basis of seniority, as per the information from the Dean of Veterinary Science at SVVU, K. Veera Bramhaiah.
The students said Mr. Kishore has been associated with the college for more than two decades.
The students said many issues including poor maintenance of hostel facilities and washrooms plague the government college. Of the 11 girls’ washrooms on a floor, only one is functional, they said.
“But, whenever we went to Mr. Kishore’s cabin to complain about such issues, he either dismissed them or made light of them,” said a BVSc third-year student, adding that the Associate Dean would also threaten them saying that he has failed a lot of students in the past and that they should be careful.
