  • In a bid to inculcate national pride among students, central universities will now be required to hoist the national flag in their campuses.

    The decision was taken at a meeting of all 46 Vice-Chancellors of central universities with the Union HRD Minister, Smriti Irani.

    The decision comes in the backdrop of the anti-national slogans raised in 2 central varsities - JNU and Jadavpur University.

  • The meeting of the Vice-Chancellors of the central universities was called in the aftermath of the unfortunate suicide of Rohith Vemula, a student of the University of Hyderabad.

    The incident had triggered a nationwide protest and brought forth the question of social discrimination on university campuses.

    The meeting which was planned much earlier included in its ambit the issues of anti-national sloganeering at JNU.
