Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) To Introduce 3 Centres in 2010
By ugeshji, Section News
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) would introduce three major centres of nano sciences, informal economy and media studies in the coming year.
"Separate centers in these three fields have already been approved and work on them should get over by the next year," said R.Kumar, JNU rector. The University Grants Commission (UGC) gave a nod to these centres this year and passed the funds for the same after going through the JNU proposal. Though it did not bring any respite to the political clout in JNU, the passing year brought good news for hundreds of girl students struggling for hostel rooms, with the opening of much awaited Koyna Hostel. Though all student organisation came under one umbrella to unanimously fight for their right to hold JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) election, 2009 marked two years of Supreme Courts' ban on them. This year, the case was finally transferred to the Chief Justice of India for his consideration on the matter as the court observed that students were openly flouting Lyngdoh Committee recommendations.

The year 2009 started with lot of noise on the JNU campus as the university administration implemented 18 per cent OBC reservations during admissions. Four per cent OBC seats were still left vacant till the end of admissions.
While students said the administration was not complying with the Ministry of Human Resource Development's guidelines on the implementation of OBC reservation, the authorities maintained that due to the already existing deprivation points policy of JNU, the number of OBC students admitted in the university was high. The university has also been in news for being the first campus visited by Rahul Gandhi as he went on to address the youth of the country placed in various universities. Though the Congress MP had to face hooting that JNU students are infamous for, he became the first one from the party to pull a huge crowd in the university. Recently, JNU saw one of the biggest brawls in its history when cops beat up the university students following a tiff between four drunken outsiders who allegedly molested some students. The university has been the breeding ground for intellectual class in almost all political parties, though association of its students with the ultra left Maoist outfits has also come to the light in the ongoing Kobad Gandhi case where some students had allegedly assisted the top Maoist.
