The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has reached out to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging the revocation of FIRs and suspension orders against 50 Kashmiri students at Rajasthan’s Mewar University. The association highlighted the challenges faced by over 50 Kashmiri students enrolled in the B.Sc. Nursing program at Mewar University due to alleged lack of statutory approvals.
In a letter to the Union Home Minister, the Association emphasized the uncertainty and anxiety among the students regarding the validity of their qualifications and future prospects. The students fear that their degree may not be recognized for professional practice if the program lacks the required approvals from regulatory bodies.
The students, who were admitted under a Jammu and Kashmir scholarship scheme, have invested significant time and resources in the program. However, concerns have arisen about the legitimacy of their degree and the recognition of their academic qualifications. The students have demanded transparency and assurance regarding the recognition status of their course.
The university administration’s alleged failure to address the students’ concerns led to a peaceful protest by the students, resulting in coercive measures such as FIRs against protesting students and suspensions. The Association has urged urgent intervention to safeguard the academic interests and safety of Kashmiri students and to address the crisis at Mewar University.
