Thanks director sir !

To,
The Director,
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Jharkhand.

Respected sir,

We, the members of Students’ Coordination Group, are writing this letter to you in order to bring to your attention the issues that demand your immediate attention:

· Firstly, we want to end the chaos caused due to the non-existence of a constitution and the non-elective procedures taking place in the college right now by channelizing the efforts through us.
Thus, we make a humble and urgent request to conduct the elections as quickly as possible and to put the constitution in act.
The delay is hampering the growth of sports and cultural culture of the college, giving rise to problems including, but not limited to, the non-availability of funds to clubs, non-availability of a stable committee for inter IIT competitions as seen for the last 2 years, non-availability of resources for various sports and cultural club activities.

· We would like to bring forth the issues faced by the Health Centre. The issues include the unavailability of good quality medicines, the emergency room not being available and not being stocked adequately, the absence of certified counselors for psychological issues of the students, the non-uniform schedule followed by the doctors and also the non-availability of cashless card for major surgical and medical procedures.

· The local area network connection throughout the campus should be made more efficient. It should be available 24x7 and in a more stable and fast form. Students face a lot of difficulties while studying - online courses and online competitions are not accessible in the morning.

· One of the most important issues we want to bring to your attention is the closed campus issue. This affects the library and the computer center, which are not open 24x7. As a result, students are not able to study and do research easily and they are unable to submit projects and/or papers within deadlines.

The in-time of girls and boys hostels in the college should be same i.e. 2300hrs.

· Canteens and the absence of any branded and desirable food companies is another issue we would like to bring to your attention. The canteens have a complete lack of fast food or even simple food chains which the students desire to eat. Another problem is the complete lack of a canteen and a stationary outlet in the Rosaline hostel and the shutting down of the biggest cafeteria on campus, the Student Activity Centre cafeteria.

· The issue of stray dogs and other animals such as snakes due to heavy rains in hostels, especially in Topaz and Opal, and the Teacher’s colony is a very grave issue. The unhygienic state of the campus is only added to by these animals. Also, the existing waste disposal method applied in the hostels i.e, burning the leaves and other products is another issue where your immediate attention is required. A Biogas treatment plant should be introduced.

· Poor quality, taste and monotony of food for all the students, especially the first year students. More competitiveness should be introduced by tendering to new companies.

· Non-uniform fines levied on the students is another issue where your attention is required. A uniform structure with the involvement of a student body representative in the proceedings of such fines and a consequent procedure of a more public nature should be put into effect.

· The coexistence of the Management Information System in the college and the cumbersome paperwork submission system in the departments and all the administrative proceedings is an issue of great distress. Thus, the eradication of the paperwork submission should be put into effect and the complete shift to the online submissions should be done simultaneously.

The issues stated above are of great importance and carry a significant value to the students, and therefore have a substantial influence on their lives in the college. We request an appointment to discuss these issues and the constitution in detail with you as soon as possible. Also, on behalf of all the students of IIT(ISM) DHANBAD we would be highly obliged if we can have a General Body Meeting (GBM) with you.
Thanking you
SCG, IIT(ISM) DHANBAD

Note: The issues related to benevolent, departmental problems, infrastructure, Health Center will be addressed in a different letter.
