Abstract

It is attempted to insight the impact of social chaos on students’ life in particular. In various movements students are sometime using as a medium of pressurising the authority. Indeed, many schools in the state have been facing various disturbances as a result of conflict situation. Non-Manipuris don not prefer to visit Manipur by seeing this diabolic issues. Empirical methods based on the contemporary issues and available literatures are employed for this analysis. Interview with the respondents and other concerned members carried out as such that some selected cases are identified from different institutes in different districts. It's very depressing to learn that students in Manipur are deprived of education despite so many holidays and festivals besides so many public bandhs/general strikes, curfews, and economic blockade. The finding shows that thousands of students have prefer to study outside the state due to the prevailing conditions. It is also found, impact of insurgency on the education is equally felt by all the members of the society.
