Student Activity & Controversies
In 2022 During the period of Local Body Elections in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. MGGC Administration passed an unjust partial order regarding Hostel facilities. The order was discriminatory and providing a partial treatment for girls hostel in the other hand boy's Hostel is completely neglected. Mr. Siddhanth Rai Sharma an ABVP Student Leader of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, condemned the unfair decision of Mahatma Gandhi government college (MGGC) Administration. He through a representation to Andaman & Nicobar Administration expressed his objection. MGGC administration immediately revoked the order which was said to be unjust. [2] [3]
