NEIAH students on indefinite hunger strike since Nov 26, demand stipends

The first batch of MD (Homeopathy) of North Eastern Institute of Ayurveda & Homoeopathy (NEIAH) are on an indefinite hunger strike since November 26 to protest against the failure of the administration to address their three grievances.
The grievances include non-payment of the stipends for the past one year, non-affiliation of MD (Homeopathy) three years PG courses with NEHU and failure to provide them with a guide which is mandated by the National Commission for Homeopathy.
The eight agitated students are firm to continue with their protest till the administration gave a written assurance that they will release their one year stipends and take immediate steps to get the affiliation with NEHU.
One of the agitated while speaking to reporters on Thursday said that they have not received their stipends despite working in the hospital for the past one year.
According to her, the administration has not taken any action for more than two months which forced them to resume their agitation.
