Protest march in the Support of GADVASU striking students

Many organizations participated
Ludhiana: 23rd July 2014: (Rector Kathuria//Punjab Screen):

Joint Forum of Trade Unions and Social Organisations of Ludhiana held a protest march from Gate No. 5 of the PAU in support of the agitating fishery graduates of GADVASU. They have been agitating since 2nd June 2014 demanding jobs in the department of fisheries govt. of Punjab. Various speakers addressing the gathering said that it is an irony that despite these young graduates agitating for so long for their just demands the govt. has not paid any heed to them. The course of Bachelor of Fishery Sciences was started in 2008 and till now 28 graduates have passed out in three batches but not a single of them has been provided employment by the state government. The future of these graduates is dark and those who take admission to these courses in the time to come will be even more darker. The speakers further said that the department of fishery exists in the Punjab govt. and number of posts there is lying vacant, but still the govt. is not ready to absorb these graduates. Govt. is time and again talking of diversification through dairy, 
bee keeping and fisheries and Govt. had raised a loan from the World Bank specifically for the development of fisheries. But when it comes to giving employment to trained graduates the govt. is shirking its responsibility. Various speakers asked how will the govt. develop fisheries without utilizing new technology and utilising the trained human resources ? This shows that the govt. is only showing off its plan of diversification but is not really interested in that. Those who addressed the gathering include Prof. A.K. Maleri from AFDR, D.P. MaurJoint Council of Trade Unions, RamanjeetLaliBSP, Jaswant Zirakh- Inqlabi Kender, Mohinder Singh Dhandari B.S.P., Gurnam Singh Sidhu (AITUC), Kewal Singh Banwait PSEB Employees Federation, Gurmail Singh Medle P.S.S.F., Vijay Narain Moulder and Steel Workers Union, J.S. Ghuman of AAP, Narinder Thakur of ABVP, Parvej of Students and Youth Inqualabi Center, Mamta and Parminder Kaur from  Lakshya (A Woman Organization) also spoke. Apart from this many student organizations of nearby Colleges and Panchs / Sarpanchs of few Villages also participated in to-days Protest March.
