Students lock Shailabala College gate | Demand university status after Odisha budget announcement

Описание: Hundreds of students staged a massive protest at Shailabala Women’s Autonomous College in Cuttack, locking the main gate and demanding that the historic institution be granted university status. The agitation erupted after the State Budget announcement listed new universities for four districts but excluded the 113-year-old college.

The issue gained momentum following Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi’s declaration in the Assembly regarding the establishment of new universities. Students alleged that despite its rich academic legacy, Shailabala College has been overlooked, especially when Rama Devi Women’s University in Bhubaneswar was earlier granted university status.

Protesters claimed that intellectuals, alumni, and students have long demanded the upgrade of the institution, and the latest Budget announcement reignited frustration. The agitation led to heightened tension near the campus, though no untoward incidents were reported.

Students have warned that demonstrations will continue until the government formally grants university recognition to the college.
