in the context of increased cost of living and. mess fee (around Rs. 1300 per month). JNU NSUJ demanded .
strongly demanded that MCM amount should be increased from Rs. 1500 to at least Rs. 3000 immediately and .

Consequently, MHRD ministry was forced to take a policy decision to increase the MCM and Non-Net .
fellowship in JNU. Hence, MHRD directed the UGC in a notice that MCM and Non-Net fellowship should .
be increased with immediate effert However, the UGC notification for increment is due and is expected· .
to come soon. We urge the student community to rally behind our relentless struggle till we get our .
demands fulfilled Placement cell: It was the endeavour ofJNU NSUI that a placemern cell should be set up in JNU. We have been demanding for a placement cell in JNU since 2007. The administration should realize that there is an urgent need for a prope-r .
functioning placement cell in campus. Studen~ pursuing technical courses and students of school of languages are suffering in terms of their career prospe<;ts due to the lack of placement cell. It is very unfortunate that SFI .
and AISA have been vehemently opposing the constitution of placement cell in JNU as a part of their anti-.
development agenda. .
