JNU Hunger Strike: VC Appeals as Students Dig In
Jawaharlal Nehru University’s Vice-Chancellor has appealed to the students currently undertaking a hunger strike to end their protest, now in its fifteenth day. The administration expressed serious concerns regarding the students’ health.
The VC’s plea comes amidst escalating tensions on campus. The students remain steadfast in their demands, which include the reinstatement of the JNUEE entrance exam, revised hostel policies, increased scholarship amounts, and a withdrawal of certain proctorial actions.
The university administration has labelled some of the students’ demands as unrealistic, citing financial constraints and existing regulations. Negotiations between the two sides have thus far proven fruitless.
This prolonged protest highlights the growing unrest within the university, raising questions about the future of student representation and the balance between administration and student body needs. The impact on academic schedules and the overall learning environment remains a significant concern. The situation warrants close monitoring as the strike continues.
