Hyderabad: Mr Shadab Alam, an MA student of Moulana Azad National Urdu University (Manuu) and topper from the history department, refused to receive his prize from the Vice-Chancellor and the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the university as part of the students’ protest against fee hike, UGC gazette and hostel eviction.
Manuu held an annual prize distribution programme at the Open Theatre Auditorium at the university campus at Gachibowli on Thursday where the student refused to receive his prize.
Mr Alam said, “By not receiving the prize from the V-C himself in front of hundreds of students and faculty of the university, I have registered my protest against the administration for some of its decisions that tend to go against the students. This protest has been registered in the wake of a massive seat cut in the Research programmes in JNU, massive fee hike in admissions and hostel evictions.’’The university officials were not available for comment on the student’s protest.
