DIMAPUR — More than five months after Nagaland government introduced guidelines to regulate coaching institutes, not a single centre has been formally registered, prompting the All Nagaland College Students' Union (ANCSU) to issue a reminder to the chief secretary seeking immediate intervention.
In a representation submitted to the chief secretary, the student body expressed "grave concern" over the failure of Higher and Technical Education department and district administrations to implement the registration process despite repeated appeals.
The union recalled that it had, through a press release issued on February 12, urged the department and district authorities to expedite the registration process and streamline coaching institutes operating across the state.
However, it claimed that no institute has been formally registered even after more than five months since the guidelines came into effect.
Describing the delay as alarming, the ANCSU maintained that the situation raises serious questions about the effectiveness of the implementation mechanism and the commitment of the authorities concerned to safeguard the interests of students and aspirants.

The union also expressed dissatisfaction over the inaction of the department and district administrations, stating that while administrative procedures may require reasonable time, it would not remain a "mute spectator" when the welfare of students is allegedly being neglected.
Seeking urgent intervention, the ANCSU urged the chief secretary to direct all district administrations to promptly process and forward duly verified applications of coaching institutes to the State Level Committee for timely registration in order “to avoid any confrontation.”
