The Union also stated that the student community in the State were facing much hardship, particularly the poor students, to study law courses in the State. The NLSF opined that if such a step was taken, it will serve the interest of the student community in general and the law student in particular.

Governor Acharya later spoke with VC NU and enquired on setting up of Law Department in the University. The VC informed the Governor that the Nagaland University has already written a proposal to the UGC for approval of setting up the department and was waiting for the reply.

The Governor assured the NLSF that the copy of the submitted representation will be forwarded to the Chief Minister and the concern department as well and he as Rector will see that the poor students get the opportunity to study Law in Government colleges.
