Memorandum .

The H'ble Minister .

For Human Resource Development. .
Government of India. .

Date: 14-11-05Respected Sir. .
On behalf of the students of JNU, we would like to draw your attention to certain Issues concerning.
Indian education in general and our University in particular. on the occasion of your visii to JNU..
It has been a long-standing demand of the student community that elected students' representation.
should be provided in the Academic Council and the Boards of Studies of the University. Last year after aprolonged agitation by the students. the Administration had agreed to this demand. However. till date no suchelections have taken place due to the non-clearance of the proposal from your Min1stry. We would request you to ensure that your Ministry endorses the proposal for students' representation in the declsion-making .
bodies of JNU like the AC and BoS at the earliest. .
While JNU is one of the most prominent research centres in the country, it is unfortunate that our researchstudents do not get adequate financial support like scholarships/fellowships from the Government to pursue.
their r!3search. As a result many meritorious students are forced to abandon their research mid-way. We.
therefore demand that every needy student of our University be given financial assistance to facilitate hisor herresearch. Such scholarship may be named after the late Shrl K.R.Narayanan, former President of India and aformer Vice-Chancellor of JNU. Additionally. your Government had promised in the Union Budget 2005 toprovide Rajiv Gandhi fellowships to all SC/ST students pursuing research. However, till date this scheme has notbeen introduced. We req uest y ou to implement this scheme at the earlie$t and provide scholarships to all the.
SC/ST research scholars of JNU. .
The students of the Science Schools of JNU are facing a serious problem related to frequent instances ofdelay in the release of funds for the CSIR fellowship. We request you to look Into the matter and take steps toensure the timely release of the fellowship funds. .
We would also like to raise certain important issues related to the education sector of our country. Formore than a decode now, there has been a gradual decline in the funds allocated for higher education as aproportion of GOP. In order o develop India into an intellectually self-reliant country. it is of paramount.
importance that more funds are allocated for higher education. In the Common Minimum Programme of yourGovernment, it has been prom.
ised that 6% of GDP will be spent on education. We appeal to you to fulfill your.
commitment of spending 6% of GOP by stepping up public expenditure on educatio·n and reverse the.
declining trend in the proportion of fund allocation towards higher education..
.
We are apprehensive about ihe efforts to enact the Private Universities Bi ll. We believe that PrivateUniversities are unnecessary for the development of higher education in our country. The experience of private.
institutions in professional education shows that while they charge exorbitant fees. the quality of education and.
infrastructure facilities provided by them are sub-standard. Moreover. we also consider the moves to allowforeign universities to operate in India and open up the education sector under the GATS as fu rthering theprocess of commercialization of education and being detrimental to our intellectual self-reliance. Therefore we.
appeal to you to discard the proposed Private Universities Bill and Instead fo cus upon improving the condition.
of the existent Universities. .
Another crucia l issue concerns the mushrooming of the private educational institutions. It is highlyunfortunate that the Supreme Court instead of strengthening the social and government control on these.
instituti~ns. .
f-)as recently delivered a judgement allowing these institutions to bypass the Constitutionally.
mandcnted· provision of providing reservation to students from deprived sections. We urge upon you to bringabout legislation to ensure that these Institutions conform to the Constitutionally mandated provision ofreservation to SC/STs and students from other deprived secHons, while also conforming to merit-basedadmissions and an affordable fee structure. .

I was an idiot and used 2 different cameras for this, to try to blend the higher quality of this dslr shot i had to pixalize the image and also add noise(thats right add). The end result wasn't really what i wanted but i had to deal, I was low on time. I should have trided for a more even lighting but i was an idiot on day 18 i guess.
I ended up actually trying to reduce the quality of the final image in a number of ways, jut to try to mask the varying quality of the images.
