Currently, the disbursal mechanism of all the fellowships and scholarships has several problems causing inordinate delay and massive hardships. Students do not deserve to suffer because of bureaucratic red-tapism , administrative insensitivity and inefficiency. A corpus fund must be created by the university for the purpose ofdoing away with the inordinate delays in disbursal. .

Proactive steps towards alleviating educational deprivation of minorities delineated by several expert committees should be initiated by JNU. .

Foreign students face inordinate delay in receiving their final degree after completion of their course in JNU. The process of issuing degree to foreign students must be expedited, so that their carrier prospects elsewhere are not affected. .

GSCASH and EOO: GSCASH has always received support from JNUSU in all its endeavors. Currently, the paucity offunds, staff as well as volunteers is inhibiting the effectivity of GSCASH. In the days to come, JNUSU will have to work along with GSCASH to address these issues. GSCASH needs basic infrastructure like Its own Xerox machine. So as to evolve an institutionalized method to ensure basic gender sensitization among new and continuing students, the Academic Council should form guidelines to incorporate gender sensitisation as a mandatory lecture series/ programme to be conducted through each centre In the first semester itself. Similarly, the EOO office has to be revitalized so that it can act strongly upon any instance of discrimination or violence based on caste or religion. .

Overall Campus Security: In light of several incidents of harassment and molestation (especially by outsiders) , the overall security mechanism in the campus has to be overhauled. Round-the-clock security has to be provided at vulnerable points, like 24x7 dhaba and on the lonely strip from Brahmaputra hostel to the Ad Block bus stop. Moreover, the communication system between guards often is completely non-functional. GSCASH representation should be ensured in the campus security .

Issues of Infrastructure and Facilities .

JNU Press: In view of JNU's national and international repute, it is imperative that JNU adopts a proactive policy and starts publishing the quality research of its own student scholars and .

faculty for wider disseminatio.n under its own emblem. This will not only make many of our important research contributions. hitherto under publicized, easily accessible but will also act as a stimulating intellectual incentive to students and faculty alike in all future research endeavours. .

Construction of Hostels and Democratizing Hostel Allotment Rules: A severe hostel crisis continues in JNU, and even now. several students have not been allotted hostels. Therefore, the construction of new hostels should be taken up on a priority basis. The dubious policy adopted during the tenure of the previous DoS about segregation of single and double-seater hostels and creating centralised pool of single-seaters must be reversed. Also the red-tapism invoked in hostel change must be removed . The centralized pooling system should be done away with, so that students can get the hostel of their choice. .

Improved Library Facilities: In 2007-08, the JNUSU had highlighted the massive corruption and deficiencies in the management of library facilities -as a result the Chief librarian was suspended on corruption charges, and more student representation and participation in the process of procurement of books was ensured. This process has to be strengthened in the days to come. Book purchase and cataloguing requires serious engagement. .

Recruitment of Teachers: For a long time now, the entire JNU community has been demanding quick recruitment teachers and staff, keeping in mind legally mandated reservations for SC/ST/OBC/PH candidates. However, the JNU administration has been dilly-dallying on this demand. As a result the academics of the university have been suffering. This situation cannot be allowed to continue any longer. .

Health Centre and 24x7 Health Care Facillties:Aftera long protest and hunger strike, the JNU administration had procured a proper 24x7 ambulance. However, the health facilities continue to be abysmal , and the committee (under the chairpersonship of the then Assistant Dean of Students) is yet to submit its recommendations and act on them. The health care facilities in JNU have to be upgraded on a priority basis with provisions of basic diagnostic facilities, anti-venom injections and other services. JNU should also make arrangements with adjacent hospitals and nursrng homes to provide facilities to JNU students at concessional rates. .

Extension of Timings of the Railway Reservation Counter In ~NU from 8 am onwards, so that students can avail Tatka/facility in the campus. .

Internet access: Wi-fi internet access in the hostels should be provided. Right now, students are forced to arrange for their own internet connections, and in many cases this is creating a variety of problems. .

Transport facilities: The. frequency of the DTC buses in JNU (615) should be increased. Feeder buses to the nearest Metro station, and bus facilities connecting important libraries in the city should be provided as was prevalent in JNU. .

For day-scholars who daily commute by train, JNU must make necessary arrangements for issuance of MST railway passes. .

A Cultural centre and Auditorium for students' activities must be built and existing premises like KC OAT .

and PSR must be renovated. The huge fee of the newly con::itructed Convention Centre mu::it be reduced to make it easily affordable to the students as well. .

Sports facilities in the campus also needs to engaged with and improved. .

Reforestation and Revitalization of the Environment Task Force: The fragile bio-diversity of JNU has been severely stressed by the construction work and expansion happening in -JNU. Therefore, there is an urgent need to revitalize the ETF and embark on a university-wide reforestation scheme so that the various species (like the ni/ga1) living in JNU are not endangered. .

Issues of Campus Democracy .

.

Struggle Against Lyngdoh and to Restore the JNUSU Constitution: The struggle against Lyngdoh is far from over, JNUSU has to be made a national platform for fighting against Lyngdoh. Our ongoing case in the Supreme Court is the ONLY existing legal challenge to the draconian, anti-student Lyngdoh committee recommendations. In the days to come, we need a JNUSU which is ideologically committed to cany forward this battle against Lyngdoh with renewed energy, broad based mobilisation and focus.We have to ensure that the pending matter of defending the J NUSU constitution against the Lyngdoh report in the Supreme Court is expedited. This crucial struggle .
