Rangpur Nagarik Committee organised a human chain in front of the local press club demanding restart of higher secondary certificate (HSC) courses at Rangpur Carmichael College. The demand for restart of HSC courses in the college was raised as all existing colleges in the town do not have the capacity to accommodate the increasing number of students. The education ministry dropped HSC courses at the college from 1995 on the plea of shortage of teachers, staff and seat problem.
