The students of the National Institute of Technology, Sikkim staged a protest demanding basic facilities.
The students are devoid of a permanent campus unlike their counterparts in other states of the country.

They had written to the Union Ministry of Human Resource and Development and other government officials but hasn’t got a single reply.
The new academic session has been affected by the peaceful protest as the students have refused to attend classes.
