00:00I took admission here in the first year.
00:02Since we have been giving applications to the AMS administration,
00:07they have not followed any centralized curriculum of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
00:12That is also on the Ministry's website.
00:15We have taken proper follow-ups for that.
00:17In the last two years, they have not followed it.
00:19Two years ago, we had a meeting with the director.
00:22He came to our department, Dr. R. P. Senda's department.
00:25He gave us 15-16 points.
00:28He also gave us a letter.
00:31He assured us that we will be able to apply it.
00:34He told us to take proper follow-ups.
00:36For two years, we have been taking follow-ups on those points.
00:38None of them have been applied.
00:40Sir, we have come here to study.
00:42Our most basic requirement is the curriculum.
00:44What do we have to study in four years?
00:46My two years have been wasted.
00:48Someone's one year in the second year has been wasted.
00:51We don't know what to study.
00:53We don't know what to study in the first semester.
00:55This is the main problem with the curriculum.
00:57The second problem is that we don't have proper teachers.
00:59We don't have teachers to teach us.
01:01Two years ago, the director also said that
01:03six to eight tutors will be assigned to you.
01:06But no action has been taken on that.
01:09We are still taking follow-ups.
01:11When we used to take follow-ups, now we have striked.
01:13The girls who come here for admission,
01:16they don't get hostels.
01:18They stay outside.
01:21The safety of the girls is a big issue.
01:23As you must have heard,
01:25there was a case in Kolkata.
01:27It happened inside the institution.
01:29The girls stay outside the institution.
01:31They are more concerned about safety.
01:33Our main concern is the curriculum,
01:35which is the basic need of the students.
01:37We are not asking for any extra curriculum.
01:39We are not asking for a spot.
01:41We are asking for education.
01:43How many students are there in your institution?
01:45Approximately 60 students in a four-year course.
01:48We have three years of admissions.
01:50Second year and first year.
01:52Every year, the students come here for admission.
01:54They don't know anything about the curriculum.
01:56Now that I am in my third year,
01:58I am raising my voice.
02:00How much is your course?
02:02It is a four-year course.
02:04It has three years of study and one year of internship.
02:06They are running a four-year course,
02:08but they don't know how to run a curriculum.
02:12I have come from a far city to study here.
02:14I have been joining since the first day.
02:16I haven't been able to find a hostel yet.
02:18I am a first-year student.
02:20I am a Bachelor of Optometry.
02:22We demand that we provide hostels
02:24on the first day we join.
02:28We have been looking for a hostel
02:30outside the AIMS campus for 10 days.
02:32We have to stay in PG's,
02:34where we don't feel safe.
02:36If we don't feel safe,
02:38how will we be able to focus
02:40on our studies and education?
02:42We want to be provided
02:44with hostel facilities.
02:46We want to get our curriculum.
02:48We are fighting for our rights.
02:52This course is run by AIMS.
02:54It is one of the oldest courses
02:56run by AIMS.
02:58But it has no centralised curriculum yet.
03:00AIMS has been running this course for so many years.
03:02The Ministry has also implemented
03:04a centralised curriculum,
03:06but AIMS has not implemented
03:08any curriculum yet.
03:10What can we expect from an institute like AIMS
03:12to run the course properly
03:14and follow the curriculum?
03:16We don't have our own college of Optometry.
03:18We have talked to them many times,
03:20but nothing has been done.
03:22We have talked to them.
03:24Now we demand that we get our own college
03:26and our own curriculum.
03:28You are a female student.
03:30Why have you raised the issue of safety?
03:32We have raised the issue of safety
03:34because we don't get hostel accommodation
03:36on the first day.
03:38We have to stay outside for a while.
03:40We have to stay in a clean park.
03:42We have to stay nearby.
03:44We face a lot of problems while coming here.
03:46As a female student,
03:48we have to face a lot of problems.
03:50We have to travel by metro or bus.
03:52Classes run till late.
03:54We go alone in the evening.
03:56We have come here far away from our cities.
03:58We don't know anything about the surroundings.
04:00We have to face a lot of problems.
