The students pursuing their BSc forestry have been on strike since January 27 demanding repeal of a new state government order introduced last year reducing their preferential quota to 25% in recruitment of forest rangers.
The students, both boys and girls, have been sleeping in the open at the college gates, using the reserve forest to attend nature's call and getting drenched in rain. Is there any better training for a career as a forest ranger?
"Since we do not have access to the hostel, bathrooms and the mess, we are now using the reserve forest to attend nature's calls and use water from one drinking water pipe that is located outside the gate," said a student.
However, they haven't started to cook food themselves as most forest rangers do. They bought food from a nearby eatery. "We are spending Rs 15,000 to Rs 18,000 a day on food because the mess is closed," another student said.
On Friday morning, they got drenched due to a short spell of rain. "Some of us took shelter under trees in the forest," said a student.
The students said they would continue their strike till officials meet them and agree to ensure 100 percent preference for them in recruitment to the post of forest rangers.
