Another proof of how Barak Hostel was conceptualized, constructed and promoted as a special hostel for the students of the North-East region. The JNU Admin still refuses to accept this fact.

Northeast students at JNU say they feel “betrayed” after Barak Hostel — initially promised as a dedicated space for them — was opened without the 75% quota. At the April 7 launch, JNU VC said it would house students from other regions too, sparking fresh protests.

The then DoNER minister Dr. Jitendra Singh posting about an exclusive hostel for NE students, way back in 2015.
Was to be ready by 2017. It took 10 years to be built. And the 75% reservation for NE students is gone.
JNU should respect the MoU signed.
