Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Ph.D. scholars from PwD (Persons with Disability) category can now enter the campus from Monday. The university was closed for over seven months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. JNU started reopening with phase one after November 02, 2020.
The admin, in a circular, said both day scholars and hostellers from this category needed access to labs will be allowed to return and reiterated that JNU’s central library, canteens, and dhabas will remain closed.
Along with this, the University has also announced that all the outstation students will have to undergo a seven-day self-quarantine before entering the campus. Students have also been advised to install the Aarogya Setu app and wear masks and gloves while working in the labs. Candidates should note that they will be punished if Covid-19 protocols not followed.
Vice-chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar said JNU took the decision consulting the university Covid-19 monitoring committee and based on guidelines of the ministry of home affairs. He has also added that he is concerned about the safety of students if they come in large numbers. They can allow more students once the Covid-19 situation improves.
