JNU To Celebrate Surgical Strike Day: Vc M Jagadesh Kumar

After Union HRD Minister clarifying the Centre’s stand on the UGC circular on the Surgical Strike Day, the Jawaharlal Nehru University VC M Jagadesh Kumar said that the varsity will observe it on September 29. “We’ll be celebrating in JNU. JNU is very closely related to the defence forces. When our alumni go and fight for us at the borders, as a University, we must recognise their contribution,” as reported by news agency ANI.

Meanwhile, the uproar over UGC’s circular has already started and Education Minister Partha Chatterjee on Friday said that educational institutions in Bengal will not observe Surgical Strike Day. “The UGC direction to universities to mark September 29 as “Surgical Strike Day” is a part of the BJP’s “political agenda” and educational institutes in West Bengal will not observe the day,” the minister said.
