The students under the banner of North East Students’ Forum (NESF) of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) are working round-the-clock in a bid to help people from the state by conducting donation drives on the campus. The students, who believe “humanity comes above everything”, have already sent Rs 30,000 collected during the collection drives in the past three days to relief camps, the forum said. “The NESF of JNU conducted a donation drive to collect funds to send to relief camps in Manipur for the victims of the violence,” a PhD student from Arunachal Pradesh, who is part of the forum, said. Violent clashes broke out in Manipur after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the 10 hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe status. Since May 4 itself, the NESF sprung into action and hosted a meeting to figure out the ways to help the displaced people. A student belonging to the Meitei community, who is pursuing PhD at the varsity, is of the view that this is not the time to blame anyone but to come forward and help people.
