JAMMU, Mar 28: Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Central University of Jammu unit, today submitted a memorandum to Vice-Chancellor Prof Sanjeev Jain regarding hostel fees hike issue and various demands of the students.
ABVP CUJ unit Secretary Abhishek Choudhary said that increase in the hostel fees from Rs 12,000 per semester to Rs 18,000 per semester, excluding mess fees was not justified.

He demanded roll-back of the decision to enhance the hostel fees.
Other ABVP demands included opening of Photostat & Stationery shop in campus, opening of new canteen & cafeteria, installing a statue of youth icon and inspiration Swami Vivekananda and also 110 ft long Tiranga, increase the number of battery cars and regulate their timings, replace the non-functional Sanitary Vending Machines, proper sanitation facilities in washrooms and repair of broken doors, tiles and taps and regular convocation ceremony.
Vice-Chancellor assured the delegation that these demands will be solved within time as these all are genuine demands.
The ABVP delegation comprised of Vaishali Guleria, Neena Thakur, Sudhakar Sharma, Siddharth, Dinesh and others.
