DSWs Shameful DATA-FUDGING Exposed! .
Unite to Oppose the Administrations Anti-Student Policies!.
.
With the beginning of the new semester in JNU, we are experiencing one of worst crises in JNU due to a lack of hostel accommodation for new students. Despite persistent demands from the student community for additional hostels and temporary accommodation facilities in dormitories, the JNU administration continues with its familiar dilly-dallying tactics and its characteristic insensitivity and callousness towards genuine student demands. At the same time, the same administration is hyper-active when it comes to pushing through anti-student policies! .
We have seen time and again that the JNU administration is willing to employ every trick in the book, every devious ploy, in order to push through its favoured policies through hook or crook. The manner in which the administration is promoting its latest formula for segregating hostels on the basis of single seaters and double seaters is yet another indicator of how this administration functions. In order to drum up support for this absurd, anti-student proposal (which is nothing but an assault on JNUs democratic ethos), the administration has been shamefully peddling spurious data. .
Following are SOME of the anomalies in the official data which was provided to Hostel Presidents: .
.
The DSW claims that Ganga Hostel has 122 single seats and 91 double seaters. This data is patently false and misleading: it is a well-known fact that Ganga has far more double seaters than single seaters. Moreover, the DSW itself claims that the total number of available rooms in Ganga is 205! Does 122 + 91 amount to 205?! May we ask the Dean of Students to do some elementary arithmetic before issuing official data to justify his proposals? In reality, Ganga has 69 single seaters and 136 double seaters (a total of 205 rooms), as per information available with the caretaker of the hostel. .

The data for Lohit Hostel also reveals the arithmetic gymnastics that the DSW has desperately resorted to: the DSW data claims that there are 52 single seater and 120 double seater rooms in the hostel. Then, the DSW does some amazing arithmetic to claim that the total number of rooms in the hostel is 192! Does the DSW expect that the student cannot correctly add up 52 and 120?! .
.
.
Similarly, in the case of Periyar Hostel, the DSW claims that 60 + 135 is 194! .
.
.
In the case of Sutlej Hostel, the DSW claims that there are 127 single seater rooms and only 66 double seater rooms. Again it is well known that this hostel has more double seaters than single seaters. .
.
.
And finally, the DSW has resorted to yet another mistake in adding up figures: the total number of single seaters and double seaters tabulated in Col 4 and Col 5 of the table provided to the student community is 1596 and 1418 respectively, according to the DSW. However, even of one were to go by the fraudulent and .
