Students protest seat reduction

CUTTACK: A students’ unrest is in the offing at Ravenshaw University as the students are regrouping during the ongoing summer vacation to protest against the arbitrary decision of the State government to reduce the number of seats in the Arts stream of both under graduate and post graduate courses of the University.

On Tuesday, some DSO students submitted a memorandum to the University registrar demanding to revoke the seat reduction notification. The students also urged the university authorities to stop the ongoing admission process till the notification is withdrawn.

“Since the university is now closed for summer vacation, we are regrouping the students and from Thursday we would launch an agitation inside the campus”, said the DSO district secretary Sibashis Praharaj.
