The distance in your eyes, Oh no, I've said too much I set it up, That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you, And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought I saw you try, Every whisper, Of every waking hour I'm, Choosing my confessions, Trying to keep an eye on you, Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool, Oh no, I've said too much, I set it up

Consider this, Consider this, The hint of the century, Consider this, The slip that brought me To my knees failed, What if all these fantasies Come flailing around, Now I've said too much, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try, But that was just a dream, That was just a dream

But that was just a dream, Try, cry, why try?, That was just a dream,Just a dream, just a dream, dream

FIGHT UGC AND ADMINISTRATIVE INSENSITIVITY TOWARDS FELLOWSHIPS! ,.f.~ .

Repeatedly we are told that 'the Indian economy is booming', yet we see no commensurate investment in any of the social sectors,be it health,rural ;· .

'.

development or education. With apitifully low enrolment ratio in higher education, itis urgent that there be serious investment in India's research and knowledge base.It is essential that in universities such as JNU, where the majority of students are research scholars, financial assistance be provided to enable students to complete their education,undertake research, and make the best possible use of the educational facilities at the university. .

Rs. 3000/5000 UGC fellowship The struggle for financial assistance remains a central concern of JNUSU. There were great 's.

expectations among the student community with regard to the UGC 3000/5000 fellowship. JNUSU has been constantly demanding that as per the UGCcircular, the JNU Administration fix the cut-off date for the fellowships as July 2005. In an agreement signed on 12 July, the administration agreed to favourably considerthis demand. However, the administration made no communicationwith the UGC in this matter. However,in ashocking instance of governmental and bureaucratic insensitivity, in aSeptember 2007 circular, the UGC has sought to stall any fresh disbursal of Rs 3000/5000 fellowships.Arguing for the need to finalise the guidelines and date of fellowships, the UGC has set up acommitteeconsisting.

of the Vice-Chancellors which is chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of JNU. JNUSU maintains this is an actofred-tapism which seeks to impede the ability of students to smoothly avail financial assistance. JNUSU holds that the since this fellowship is to be provided to every research scholar in a Central University,not availing any other scholarship, there can be no reason for stalling its disbursal on technical grounds such as "finalising guidelines". More .

shockingly,no deadline has been set for the submission of·the comQlitlee's report,which means that students who have eagerly awaited these fellowships and adjusted their financial options accordingly,suddenly face asituation of crisis. JNUSU is committed to struggle against any such bureaucratic assault .

onfellowships and the rights of the studentcommunity. .

Rajiv Gandhi Fellowship The JNU Administration has had continually misplaced priorities, seeking to undertakebeautification projects and unwarranted renovation rather than concentrate energies on fellowships and scholarships which are the basic needs of the student community. These misplacedpriorities are evident in the fact that for months together,the disbursal of the Rajiv Gandhi fellowships has come to astandstill.Despite clear and detailed guidelines on the disbursalof these fellowships numerous procedural hurdles and contradictory instructions on "progress reports"are being used todeny the fellowships to students. JNUSU maintains that such delays in disbursal amount to holding the students hostage to administrative whims anti demands that the administration ensure speedy disbursalof the Rajiv Gandhi fellowships to their recipients. .

MCM for minority students In the Union Budget Speech of 2006, the Finance Minister announced that the corpus fund for the Maulana Azad Education Foundation would be ina-eased toRs. 200cr. The Sachar Committee report also strongly recommended that this corpus fund be increased to Rs 1000 crore. However, inspite of these proposed increases, the scholarship component of the Maulana Azad Education Foundation corpus fund for higher education amongst minority students is virtually non existent In this year's budget finance minister has announced .

Merit-cum-Means scholarships for minority students at graduate and post-graduate levels of Rs.48.60 crore. But once again no details apout the exact scheme,per head amount,and modalities ofdisbursal have been specified. JNUSU demands that the Union Government institute concrete financial assistance schemes for minority students in highereducation, rather than making confusing and empty promises on the floor of the parliament, which never .

get implemented for years on end. Fellowship for PH Students JNUSU also demands that the Government must live up to its commitments to physicallychallenged students (PH category] and institute fellowships equivalent to the Rajiv Gandhi Fellowships..: ~~ Disparity in Science School Fellowships JNUSUwould also like to highlight the gross disparity and inconsistency in the .

fellowships for the science students.Consider this:JRFfrom CSIR is Rs 8000 p.m., whereas from UGC is Rs 10,000 p.m., and from OST/DBT is Rs 12,000 .

P.M. SRF from CSIR is Rs 9000, whereas from UGC is Rs 12,000p.m., and from DST/OBT is Rs 14,000 p.m. .

It is extremely unfortunate that aparticular organization made spurious claims before the election claiming that it is due to their effort CSIR fellowship.

extremely shameful and must be corrected withoutdelay. JNUSU demands of the UGC and the Concerned Ministries to bring in parity in the entire range .

of fellowships. JNUSU has got in touch with research scholars from different central universities in an effort to build a united movement to fight UGC and Administration's bureaucratic insensitivity and grudging reluctance to disburse fellowships. As part of this struggle,- JNUSU is organising tonigh~'s public meeting with reserach scholars from other central universities and will hold a protest .

demonstartion at UGC on 29th November. We appeal to the student community to make this struggle a success! .
