and demand legitimate say of the student community and consultation towards formulating the proposal..

.

Involve the student community in implementing 27% Reservation and 54% seat Increase in JNU.

.

without delay : retaining deprivation points for backward regions and women and ensuring the nec-.

essary infrastructure. JNU's expansion programme must concentrate on :.

Acceptance of Aleemiyat and Fazeelat and other Madarsa certificates in BA 1st year ad-.

.

missions: In the light of the Sachar Committee findings it stands proved that the Muslim students do suffer.

.

educational discrimination and deprivation at the school level which force them to opt for madrasa education..

.

Given this social reality, if doors for them are not to be closed in higher education, it is crucial that ma-.

.

drasa degrees including Aleemiyat- and Fazeelat be recognised by JNU for admission to BA 1st year.

.

itself, as is the case in some other Central Universities..

.

Also, specific scholarships must be instituted to support and encourage Muslims who make it to higher.

education and research. Particularly in the light of Union govt.'s periodic `announcements' of increasing the.

corpus fund for Maulana Azad Education Foundation but No concrete scheme of Scholarships/ Fellowships.

for the minority students suffering social and economic deprivations, JNU must demand that that suitable.

scholarship schemes are instituted for minority students in higher education..

.

JNU must also pursue the implementation Single Girl Child Fellowships in JNU at the earliest..

.

Ensure Rights of and infrastuctural facilties for the Physically Challenged : Fulfilment of the 3%.

quota for PH category in both student admissions and faculty appointments; their representation in the deci-.

sion making bodies, increasing the amount of funds for readers/writers for the visually challenged; instituting.

of scholarships and fellowships for physically-challenged students; setting up sound indicators, ramps,.

and other support systems; and expanding the Helen Keller unit with more functional computers, scanners and.

Braille printers, a separate reading for blind students in addition to the Helen Keller Unit, Hindi speech software,.

conversion of required books into e-books, and the appointment of a visually-challenged person in the Helen.

Keller Unit. The physically and visually challenged are increasingly losing access to campus spaces due to.

rampant construction and indiscriminate parking of vehicles on roads etc. New constructions must keep in.

mind the needs of these students, and specific parking space be allocated for vehicles. It is also important to.

legalise the convention of providing hostel to the disabled immediately after admission. JNU must also initiate.

the process of sensitizing the society by starting a Disability Studies Centre..

.

Fee Waivers and fee concessions for Foreign Students from developing countries and appointment.

of part-time administrative staff for dealing with foreign students related issues..

.

Gender Justice: Immediately ratify the Rules and Procedures of GSCASH as proposed by the Ghosh.

Committee. Improve the functioning of GSCASH by taking serious steps to expedite enquiries into complaints.

so as to ensure time-bound justice, and also to prevent intimidation or silencing of complainants. JNUSU also.

demands the expansion of the scope of GSCASH/or seek to set up other mechanisms to tackle cases.

of gender violence, including doemstic violence, and offer suitable support and justice to victims of.

gendered violence..

.

Ensure Transparency in Academic and Admission Processes : Keeping in view the evidence ( in.

SAA in the entrance of M.Phil/ Ph.D. 2006) of serious discriminatory, biased, as well as excessively subjective.

marking in the viva process, JNU administration must ensure the display of break-up of Written/Viva marks,.

fixing of minimum/maximum marks for viva, make provisions for vivas to be conducted in different languages,.

BA entrance exam to be offered in Hindi as well, and observers from among SC/ST faculty in vivas. Inspite of.

the fact that the matter has been persistently raised in the AC and JNUSU's Charter Of Demands, we wonder.

why is the administration is always postponing its implementation under one pretext or the other. With RTI Act.

in place this has become a redundant secrecy and the administration should implement it immediately in the.

interest of a healthy, transparent, accountable and democratic academic culture in JNU..

.

Make the Placement Cell PROACTIVE, by providing effective and professional career counselling spe-.

cific to Sciences, Social Sciences, Languages, International Studies etc, as well as counselling regarding.

scholarship schemes, exchange programmes, summer courses and sandwich programmes offered by the HRD.
