The protest against the Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU)’s decision to cut down on the local student quota continued in Vadodara, this time directed at the vice chancellor (VC) of the university. 

This time around, posters opposing MSU VC Vijay Kumar Srivastava were put up across the campus and Kamati Baug area by RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh)’s ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad).

Students have accused VC Srivastava of neglecting their issues, pointing out his unavailability for a dialogue. They have claimed that all attempts to voice their concerns before the VC have been prevented by his security. 

A student union leader claimed the parents of local students who cleared class 12 this year are also concerned about their admission.

Earlier, around 12,000 local students used to benefit through the quota, but that number  is now feared to drop significantly by  cutting the local student quota to 50% from 70%.

Opposing the VC’s negligence, the students of the ABVP union satirically pasted the posters that said, “The Vice-Chancellor is missing”.
