To,
The Chief Secretary
to the Government of Manipur.
Imphal
Sub: Memorandum of understanding (MoW) between the Government of Manipur and
All Tribal Student Union, Manipur (ATSUM).
Sir,
As everyone is aware, the Economic blockade on both the National Highway Imposed by ATSUM is the result or the failure Or the government to fulfil its promises mentioned in the MoU. I also feel that it shall not be possible for the government to fulfil all the demands of ATSUM and it is also a mistake of the government to sign the MoU fully knowing that the demands are beyong the capacity of the government.
It is desirable that before signing any MoU, the government should examine whether the demands are resonable. If some of the demands are found reasonable, the MoU may be signed. If some of the demands are not reasonable and beyond the capacity of the government, the party concerned shall be told clearly about the legal Implications a MoU shall not be signed to win the confidence of the public. Not to fulfil the MoU invites misunderstanding between the government and the people. Justice should should always be the guide for all concerned.
In order to reduce crisis of confidence it is requested that the government should make the people know the number of government colleges and schools of each hill District, and the number of teachers appointed for each institution. It is said that if there were vacancies in the government schools, there should not have been so many fake appoinments. Before Independence, government schools were the best schools in Manipur. As a proof, let me reproduce below the inspection note written by Mr. F.G.Mengies, S.D.O., West who visited Thanlon school on 22-3-46:
The school is more than flourishing and there were 90 students present. The school has grown so much that it is imperative either a new bulding be put or extensions made to accomodate all classes. Class A and Class I are housed in half of the boys hostel which is not at all desirable, but for lack of space is the only solution at present. Plans are made for enlargement of the school next cold season. class III were not present as they were waiting results of their exam recently held.
I am more than pleased with the teaching staff and the results so far obtained by pupils of this school is sufficient proof of their ability and interest in the work. The usual drawback is the lack of text books, stationery, etc of which I have a list and will see that they are supplied at the earliest. The keen interest also shown by the masters in organising games for the childrens is very commendable
There is no doubt whatsoever, but that the U.P. & L.P. schools here af Thanlon are progressing so rapidly that they will soon be in a position to have an M.E. School here.

It may be mentioned in thios connection that Thanlon was within the east while Tamenglong sub division which was known as west sub division. Now that we have our own responsible government and teachers of government schools. It is said that Science graduate teachers who were appointed for schools of hill districts were transferred to the schools of valley districts. Whom to blame for this tragedy? Until and unless each local M.L.A. takes interest for improvement of schools located within his constituency, there shall not be any improvement.
It is also requested that the government should make rules/laws to the effect that all members of student organizations such as AMSU, ATSUM, ANSUM and all other student organisations must be students reading in the universities, colleges and schools. Ex- students shall not be allowed by the government to bve members of any student organisations.
In view of the seriousness of the present situation. I beg to you kindly to move the government to inform ATSUM about the reasons why their demands could be fulfilled inspite of the MoU and legal action may be taken against those who violate the law of the land to end any blockade.
Your's faithfully,
