The administration informed through the notice that the registration process for the winter session is going in the right direction. The administration has said that students who have gone out of the city due to fear of violence or any other reason should return. Significantly, angry with the increase in fees and increase in hostel charges, JNU Students’ Union is boycotting the new session. Many students are also on strike against this fee hike. At the same time, the Ministry of Human Resource Development has asked the Vice Chancellor of JNU to restore educational activities in the university. The ministry wants the students’ strike that has been going on for almost two and a half months to end. For this, at present, it has been decided not to collect the increased fees from the students in this session. It will present additional grant to UGC University for increased fees.
