Sri Vijaya Puram, Feb. 25: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, has formally demanded to immediately vacate the classrooms and infrastructure within Jawaharlal Nehru Rajkeeya Mahavidyalaya (JNRM) that have been allotted for the so-called Transit Campus of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Institute of Higher Learning (NSCBIHL).
In a letter addressed to the Principal of JNRM on February 23, 2026, ABVP stated that the occupation of classrooms for an “unestablished” deemed-to-be university is directly affecting the academic interests of existing JNRM students. The student body emphasized that JNRM is already functioning under severe infrastructure constraints, with an acute shortage of classrooms and academic space.
ABVP asserted that JNRM’s infrastructure must remain exclusively for its enrolled students and that diverting limited facilities for a newly announced institution—yet to be fully established with statutory academic and executive bodies—is unjustified and unacceptable. The organization further stated that the ongoing dissatisfaction and protests among students reflect deep concerns regarding decisions being imposed without considering ground realities.
The student organization warned that any continuation of the present arrangement would be viewed as deliberate neglect of student welfare. ABVP has demanded that all rooms presently occupied for the Transit Campus be vacated immediately and restored for academic use by JNRM.
The letter, signed by Satyajit Haldar, Secretary, ABVP (A&N Islands), has also been marked to the Member of Parliament, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and the Secretary (Education), A&N Administration, for necessary intervention.
ABVP reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the academic rights and future of students and indicated that failure to withdraw the occupation may lead to intensified democratic agitation.
