ABVP accuses JNU administration for not granting non-NET fellowship to students
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has claimed that Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has not granted non-NET fellowships to any students despite receiving over INR 538 lakh from the University Grants Commission (UGC) from April to June.
The students' organisation in a statement said that "an ABVP delegation met with UGC Chairperson M Jagdish Kumar and sought information about funds released by the UGC in connection with non-NET fellowships for students of JNU."
"In response, the UGC provided information in writing that from April to June 2022, in a total of five months, Rs 538.36 lakh has been given to JNU for non-NET fellowship," the statement read.
The ABVP said "it had been sitting on a dharna against the JNU administration over irregularities in grant of fellowship for more than 15 days. "The ABVP's satyagraha is still going on and the protest will continue till the demands are met."
ABVP's JNU unit president Rohit alleged that even though funds were being given to the university by the UGC, the administration keeps lying and refusing fellowship to the students.
Meanwhile, pointing to the prosperous Indic civilisation where women held all major public portfolios, Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, Vice-Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, put adequate women’s representation as a precondition to the development of any society.
“Ancient Indic civilisation was prosperous because all the important public portfolios were held by women – education or knowledge by Saraswathi, wealth or finance by Lakshmi, and even the power by Shakti. We had a great feminist civilisation where all the important responsibilities were given to women,” she said.
