Students from Prime Minister College of Excellence and Government Shaheed Bhima Nayak PG College in Barwani, Madhya Pradesh, have commenced an indefinite strike, demanding better facilities for college sports. The athletes, players, and NCC-NSS cadets have been occupying the sports ground, presenting a 17-point list of grievances to the principal.
They have been raising these concerns for the past 2.5 years without any resolution. The primary issues pertain to the substandard sports ground conditions, including improper drainage, water accumulation during rain, and unhygienic conditions such as dirty floors and cockroach infestation. The students require a permanent drainage system, permanent repairs and replacement of the gravel and soil long-jump pit, rusted gym equipment, brighter floodlights, CCTV cameras, security guards, and a women-friendly environment.
Other demands include restricting private and political events on the ground, providing regular coaching, sports equipment, and a dietitian, and forming a joint management committee for the upkeep of the ground.
