special centres:
1. Centre for the Study of Law and Governance:[6] Founded in 2001, Centre for the Study
Library building, JNU.
of Law and Governance is a special interdisciplinary centre focussing on critical social
science approaches in its attempt to explore how practices of law and governance are
embedded in political, economic, social and historical processes; how practices of governance are dispersed over various sites
ranging from the government, bureaucracy, judiciary, community and family; the sociolegal processes that deter or provide access
to justice; and notions of governmentality, sovereignty and rights in specific politicojural regimes.

2. School of Arts and Aesthetics:[7] This is one of the newest schools in the university. It is
one of the few places in India that offers postgraduate degree courses in the theoretical and

gender and cultural studies apart from being able to integrate the study of one art form with
the other arts. The three streams of study offered at the school are Visual Studies, Theatre and
Performance Studies and Cinema Studies.
3. School of Biotechnology: This school was set up in 2006 from the earlier Center for
Biotechnology. BioSpectrum magazine rated the Bio Technology program of JNU as third
ranking institute among all public schools in India.
4. School of Computer and Systems Sciences: Since its inception in 1974, this school has been
attracting the largest number of applications as compared with the other schools. The school
specially caters to three fields of study: Master of Computer Application (MCA), Master of
Campus Location in India: New
Technology (M.Tech.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The faculty and students deal with a
wide range of computer science and technology areas, for example: Database Systems,
Delhi
Artificial Intelligence, Computer Networks, Operation Research, Mathematical Modelling,
Optimization Techniques, Software Engineering and many more. A student placement cell
facilitates the students to enter the global IT market after completion of the course.[8]

Infrastructure
Modernization
The university has been modernising by moving toward "paperless"[17] transparency and egovernance with the help of Wipro and a
wireless network to connect the students and the teachers to the library.

Student activism
The university is known to have a long tradition of alumni who now occupy important political and bureaucratic positions (see Prominent
alumni). This is in part due to the strong prevalence of LeftCentric student politics and the existence of a written constitution for the
university to which noted Communist Party leader Prakash Karat contributed exhaustively during his education at JNU.[18] However,
on 24 October 2008 the Supreme Court of India stayed the JNU elections and banned the JNUSU for not complying with the
recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee.[19] After a prolonged struggle and multiparty negotiations, the ban was lifted on 8
December 2011.[20] After a gap of more than four years, interim elections were scheduled again on 1 March 2012.[21] Following the
election results declared on 3 March 2012, AISA candidates won all four central panel seats and Sucheta De, the president of AISA
became the president of JNUSU.[22]

International Student's Association

The International Student's Association (ISA) is an official Jawaharlal Nehru University body. It was instituted in 1985 with a view to
promoting friendly relations and cultural exchange. The ISA has a constitution and elected executive, cultural, advisory and financial
committees. All foreign students of JNU are also members of the FSA. The university has 133 international students.[23]

Controversies
Mushaira disturbance Army Officers in 2000
In April 2000, two army officers who disturbed a peacefull mushaira at the JNU campuswere beaten up by agitated students.[27] The
officers were angered by antiwar poems recited by two Pakistani poets[27] and disrupted the mushaira.[28] They were enraged at the
recited lines of a poem Tum bhi hum jaise nikle ("You are like us too") and interpreted the lines as a criticism of India.[29] One of them
started to shout antiPakistan slogans.[28] When the audience asked for silence, one of them pulled a gun. They were overpowered by
security[29] and then beaten by students, though not seriously injured.[28][30] The army officers fled from the secen after one of the
officers fired in the air.[31]

2010 celebration of Dantewada massacre

In 2010 Democratic Students Union (DSU) and All India Students Association (AISA) celebrated [32] [33] the massacre of 76 CRPF
jawans in April 2010 Maoist attack in Dantewada [34] which led to protests from rival student unions ABVP and NSUI. [35]It was
alleged that the organizers were maoist sympathizers, while they countered the accusation by stating that they were protesting against
government's Operation Green Hunt. NSUI national general secretary stated "Members of Democratic Students Union (DSU) and All India
Students Association (AISA) organized a meeting to celebrate the killing of 76 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh. They were even shouting slogans like
'India murdabad, Maovad zindabad'. How can this be allowed inside a Central university?" [36]

2016 sedition controversy

Onset
On 9th february, a cultural evening was organised by 10 students, formerly of the Democratic Students' Union (DSU), at the Sabarmati
Dhaba, against the execution of Afzal Guru and separatist leader Maqbool Bhat, and for Kashmir's right to selfdetermination.[37] The
students organising the event had pasted posters inviting people to gather for a protest march against the "judicial killing of Afzal Guru
and Maqbool Bhatt."[37]
According to IndiaToday, "AntiIndia" slogans like "Kashmir ki azadi tak jung chalegi, Bharat ki barbadi tak jung chalegi" ("War will
continue till Kashmir's freedom, war will continue till India's demolition") were "reportedly raised at the protest meet."[37][38]

Government, University and Students' Union response

Protests by members of ABVP were held at the University demanding expulsion of the student organisers. [39]
The Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted "If anyone shouts anti India slogan & challenges nation's sovereignty & integrity
while living in India, they will not be tolerated or spared." [40]
Kanhaiya Kumar, JNUSU president, said: "We are appalled at the way the entire incident is being used to malign JNU students. At the
outset, we want to condemn the undemocratic slogans that were raised by some people on that day. It is important to note that the
slogans were not raised by members of Left organisations or JNU students."[41]
JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) vicepresident Shehla Rashid said "We condemn the undemocratic slogans that were raised by some
people on that day. In fact, when the sloganeering had been taking place, it was the Leftprogressive organisations and students,
including JNUSU officebearers, who asked the organisers to stop the slogans, which were regressive."[42]
JNU administration ordered a "disciplinary" enquiry into the holding of an event on campus against the hanging of Parliament attack
convict Afzal Guru, despite denial of permission, saying any talk about countrys disintegration cannot be "national". The Universitys
move came in wake of protests by members of ABVP outside the VC office demanding expulsion of students who "misled" the university
about nature of the event.[43]
Arrests of student leaders
The Delhi Police arrested the JNU Students' Union President Kanhaiya Kumar on charges of sedition and criminal conspiracy, under
section 124 of the Indian Penal Code dating back to 1860.[44][45]
The arrest soon snowballed into a major political controversy, with several leaders of opposition parties visiting the JNU campus in
solidarity with the students protesting against the police crackdown. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh reiterated that
while the students would not be harassed, the "guilty would not be spared". Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiran Rijiju said
the JNU would not be allowed to become a hub for "antinational" activities.[46]
University teachers have criticised the arrest as "excessive police action".[47] JNU students formed a human chain, demanding that
sedition charges against varsity's students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar be dropped. [48]
Amnesty India, said Kumars arrest and the charges against him are uncalled for and India's sedition law contrary to international
standards on freedom of expression must be repealed.[49]
More than 500 academics from around the world, including JNU alumni, released a statement in support of the students, stating that the
JNU stands for a vital imagination of the space of a University that "embraces critical thinking, democratic dissent, student activism, and
the plurality of political beliefs."[50] In a separate statement, over 130 worldleading scholars including Noam Chomsky, Orhan Pamuk
and Akeel Bilgrami called it a "shameful act of the Indian government" to invoke sedition laws formulated during colonial times to silence
criticism.[51][52] Students from University of California, Berkeley, Yale University and University of London showed their solidarity by
recording videos reading out the speech of Kanhaiya Kumar which was labelled seditious.[53]
On 16 February 2016, the Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear an urgent plea seeking "free and fair access to justice" to Kanhaiya
Kumar, following acts of violence against JNU students and lecturers as well as a number of journalists at the Patiala House Court
premises under the watch of police.[54] It transferred to the bail plea of Kanhaiya Kumar to the Delhi High Court to ensure his safety.[55]
Fabrications
Zee News reported that some of the students from Democratic Students' Union (DSU) raised slogans such as "Bharat Ki Barbadi"
("Destruction of India") and " Pakistan Zindabad" ("long live Pakistan") [56] The Zee News report was found to be based on a
misinterpretation by Zee News. In a letter, the Zee News producer stated "Our biases made us hear Bhartiya Court Zindabad as Pakistan
Zindabad." ("long live Indian courts" as "long live Pakistan.") Subsequently, the producer associated with the footage, resigned from the
channel after expressing reservations over its 'biased coverage'. The misinterpretation was disclosed when the Aam Aadmi Party filed a
complaint, alleging that ABVPstudents raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans. The ABVP admitted that members of their organisation had
been present, but shouted "Bharatiya Court Zindabad" and "Indian Army Zindabad," and filed a counter complaint. The police then
declared that "the footage had been tampered with." [57]
Another video, dated 11 february 2016, which showed a speech by JNU Students' Union President Kanhaiya Kumar maing antinational
slogans, appears to be doctored. According to IndiaToday, "In the original video, Kanhaiya is asking to end social ills such as caste and
communalism not anti national slogans, experts said."[58][59]
On 14 February 2016, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh alleged that the JNU incident has the support of the LeT chief Hafiz
Saeed.[60] Doubts were soon expressed if this was tied to the discredited alert by Delhi Police that used a tweet from a fake/parody
account.[61]
