The AISF State unit protested the authoritarian, anti-student UGC guideline on conducting college and university examinations.
While the UGC prepared guidelines at the dictates of the MHRD and the Ministry of Home Affairs, it has not consulted the stakeholders like student organistions, teacher organisations and educationists, only to impose the hidden agenda of the saffron brigade, it alleged.
“The MHRD has no right to push the future generation of India into a narrow mindset of regionalism and communalism,” told AISF State president Sanghamitra Jena, adressing a picketing at Mastercanteen square,Bhubaneswar.
There after a team of delegation headed by AISF president Jena, Bibek Krushna, Manas Ranjan Kar and Lipan Hota submitted a memorandum to Higher Education Minister Arun Kumar Sahoo.
