(Patna) A delegation of research scholars from various universities is engaged in a continuous struggle over the serious issue of non-inclusion of Urdu, Philosophy, Maithili and Sanskrit seats in the 211 new degree colleges opened by the Bihar government. Continuing the same, a delegation of research scholars today met the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and former Education Minister, Senior Leader of Janata Dal (United) Mr. Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and informed him that the posts for students of Urdu, Philosophy, Sanskrit and Maithili languages have not been released in these 211 new degree colleges which is a matter of great concern and oppression of the students living in the vicinity of these new colleges. It is equivalent to violence. He requested the Deputy Chief Minister to include the post of the above mentioned important subjects in these new degree colleges and take out a post for it as soon as possible and start the education of these subjects here.
