The memorandum said that after visiting several colleges and most of the schools, it was found that there is not a single room having study materials, which are essential resources for the students.

It said there are no adequate restrooms for the students, no proper drinking water facilities – the basic necessity.

Moreover, it said there are inadequate seating arrangements, insufficient electricity and a lack of essential educational facilities.

The students’ body of Tripura urged the Governor for provision of better facilities in the schools and colleges that the students deserve.
