New Delhi: The North East Students' Forum (NESF) has demanded 75 per cent reservation for students from the region in Jawaharlal Nehru University's newly inaugurated Barak Hostel, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
The forum has alleged that the university has reneged on commitments made during its construction with the North Eastern Council (NEC) and the Ministry for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER).
There was no immediate response from the JNU administration on the issue.
While some oppose the reservation, citing the university's ethos of inclusivity, NESF argues that such measures are crucial for promoting representation and security, referencing historical instances of racial discrimination against northeastern students.
