Student Protest in National Law University Odisha

The Student Body of National Law University Odisha, along with their Student Council will
be going on an indefinite protest starting on the 24th of July, until the Administration takes
specific measures to solve problems that have been plaguing the University for years.
Important issues adversely affecting the living and working conditions within the campus have
been ignored. The Girls’ Hostels are in terrible condition, rendering most rooms uninhabitable.
A world-class library had been promised since the inception of the institution, but no progress
has been made other than the completion of the basic structure. Several prejudiced academic
and examination policies that are still in force. The fees for the upcoming batch has been
increased by Rs.30,000 , without providing a reasonable explanation. There have also been no
positive steps taken to improve placement figures. These particular issues have been
continuously raised for a number of years, but no significant steps have been taken by the
Administration to remedy any of these.
The Students of the University condemn this lethargy, and demand nothing more than their due
right, the right to a University that provides a conducive environment for learning. The issues
mentioned above affect the basic conditions in the University, and make it very difficult for the
students to even attend classes regularly and comfortably, notwithstanding the fact that a
portion of the student population does not even have a decent place to live.
Other than the issues mentioned above, the Administration has also been lax in carrying out
basic infrastructure development within the University. The sports facilities are in dismal
condition, and an unfair curfew timing is being imposed.
The Students through this peaceful protest aim to stimulate the administration into doing their
duty, and ensure that basic living and academic conditions are attained.
