RAJOURI MAY 06:-The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the world’s largest student organization working in the field of education for the past 76 years, has once again taken a firm stand in raising student-centric issues at Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU), Rajouri.
In this connection, the ABVP BGSBU Unit submitted a detailed memorandum to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Jawaid Iqbal, highlighting the pressing concerns of the student community, particularly related to hostel infrastructure and campus facilities.
ABVP has consistently represented student voices nationwide and played an active role in ensuring their legitimate demands reach administrative policymakers.
The main issues raised by the ABVP Unit include poor sanitation facilities in hostels and the highly neglected state of academic buildings. Washrooms are unhygienic, with broken doors, tiles, and taps. Additionally, the sanitary vending machines installed for the convenience of female students are not operational. ABVP demands that these machines be immediately replaced and functional units installed in both hostels and academic blocks. Proper and routine sanitation must be ensured to maintain hygiene on campus.
Another demand raised concerns the inadequate supply of electricity and water in hostels for both boys and girls. ABVP claimed that these basic infrastructural issues are disrupting students’ daily routines and impacting their well-being. They demanded the immediate restoration of a consistent electricity supply and adequate water facilities in all hostels.
ABVP also pointed out that the battery cars provided for intra-campus travel are currently non-functional, making it extremely difficult for students, especially during the hot summer months, to commute between academic buildings and hostels. They demanded that the number of battery cars be increased and that a proper schedule and route system be introduced to ensure smooth student mobility across the campus.
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) strongly demanded the immediate establishment of a fully functional health centre within the university campus. “The absence of a dedicated medical facility poses a serious risk to the health and well-being of students, faculty, and staff, especially in cases of medical emergencies, seasonal illnesses, or minor injuries,” said the ABVP Unit.
ABVP emphasized that these demands reflect the ground realities and daily challenges faced by students at BGSBU. The organization firmly urged the administration to resolve these issues without further delay to improve campus life and uphold students’ rights.
Furthermore, ABVP warned the administration against any proposed hike in hostel fees. The student body will strongly oppose such a move and will not hesitate to launch a campus-wide agitation if the concerns are not addressed. The consequences of inaction, they said, would rest solely with the administration.
ABVP remains committed to fighting for student welfare and will continue to represent their voices with strength and determination.
