Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi has gained notoriety for regular and frequent anti-national and anti-social activities from time to time resulting in severe law and order problems. It is surprising how even teachers with political motives of a particular ideology get appointed at this institute set up and run at high public-cost as compared to other universities in the country.
It was totally unjustified to continue providing costly hostel-facilities to JNU students at nominal rather negligible fees of just rupees ten per month which after decades has now been raised to only rupees 300 per month on twin-sharing basis. Agitating students unnecessarily confused public by mentioning rupees 1700 per month now imposed as service-charge for so many facilities as per actual cost as if JUN authorities imposed some type of service-tax.
Best is to abandon JNU in its existing form and instead utilizing huge premises and available resources for setting up an altogether new institute for higher studies under a new name after say great educationist former President of India Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan who also happened to be first Vice President of India ensuring that anti-national and anti-social elements may not be able to be recruited as teachers or admitted as students.
