Students of Jagannath University’s 20th batch (academic year 2024–25) staged a 26-hour sit-in at the administrative building demanding inclusion in the first installment of a special scholarship. During the protest, Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Md. Rezaul Karim and Treasurer Professor Dr. Sabina Sharmin were confined inside the building. They were released after 26 hours when the students ended their blockade on Monday, January 26, following assurances from the Teachers’ Association President, Professor Dr. Rois Uddin.
The protesting students said they were assured that the issue of including the 20th batch in the first installment of the special scholarship would be discussed at the university syndicate meeting scheduled for Tuesday. The demonstration began on Sunday morning, January 25, when students locked the main gate of the administrative building after a protest march demanding housing allowances.
The university’s proctorial body decided to suspend all activities during the blockade, terming the confinement unjustified and expressing regret for the temporary inconvenience caused to students.
