The students demanded the immediate posting of two lecturers for Commerce and one each for Hindi, Economics and History.

Located in Kamki which is 23 kms from Aalo, the district headquarters of West Siang district, the college has around 900 students. It is the lone government institution for higher education for students of West Siang, Siang, and Shi-Yomi districts of the state.
