Over 40 Kashmiri students enrolled in the B.Sc. Nursing program at Mewar University, Rajasthan, have alleged harassment and violence by university authorities and local police in a growing dispute over the recognition of their course.

The students have been protesting for months, demanding recognition for their program, which lacks the necessary approvals from the Rajasthan Nursing Council (RNC) and the Indian Nursing Council (INC). This delay in securing approval has put their academic futures at risk, with many having already invested three years in the program.

The situation escalated on Saturday evening when protesting students were reportedly beaten and forcibly removed from the university premises. In a viral video, students shared their ordeal, revealing that many were left out in the cold, spending winter nights outside the university gates after being denied access to the campus.

One of the students claimed, “We were left outside in the cold, and the university refused to listen to our demands. We’ve been subjected to intimidation and threats of suspension.”

The students also reported that they have faced continuous pressure from the university, including threats of police involvement to end the protests. They allege that local police were used to suppress their peaceful demonstrations, with some students even facing physical violence.

Despite receiving repeated assurances from the university, the students say that no concrete action has been taken to address their concerns, leaving them in a state of uncertainty about their academic future. The situation has sparked widespread outrage among students and activists who are calling for the university and authorities to take immediate action to resolve the issue.
