Ludhiana: As protest by unemployed B.Sc (Agriculture) graduates and students enters into the 3rd day on Wednesday, the plant doctors pledged that they would not call off their protest till the state govt meet their demands. They also claimed that there had been no response from the state govt or administration on their demands.
“For the past two years, students have been repeatedly forced to endure hardships. Due to this, a continuous sit-in protest will carry on day and nightuntil the demands are met,” the agitators claimed. Student leaders mentioned that the Punjab government has discontinued the subject of agriculture in schools, a move that will be unfavorable for the development of agriculture.
Moreover, the elimination of thousands of posts has also led to a loss of employment. “The chief minister’s promise of appointing agricultural teachers in villages is yet to be fulfilled. It is the government’s responsibility to provide employment toskilled hands, which all governments have neglected so far,” said one student.
In a press statement, the students claimed that before starting the protest, student leaders held a meeting with the PAU authorities, during which the authorities assured that the demands would be presented to the government. Student leader Angrej Singh stated that education minister Harjot Bains personally came to meet them at PAU, which was also shared on Facebook. He further mentioned that in 2014, when CM Bhagwant Mann was an MP, he used to join students in protests, but today, they are being compelled to face hardships.
