JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Monday written to Home Minister Amit Shah, over Admission Scandal transfer of Kashmiri students enrolled in various paramedical courses from Desh Bhagat University (DBU) Punjab to Sardar Lal Singh College ‘without their consent.
As per the release issued to Indian Tribune News 24×7, the National Convenor of JKSA Nasir Khuehami sought intervention in a deeply troubling situation affecting the future of Kashmiri students pursuing paramedical courses in Punjab.
In a letter addressed to the Home Minister, the Association expressed its concern and implores immediate action on an issue of paramount importance. The matter revolves around a heart-wrenching situation unfolding at DBU, Punjab, where approximately 70 Kashmiri students, enrolled in various paramedical courses, have been unilaterally transferred to Sardar Lal Singh College without their consent or will. This unilateral action by the university has been ongoing since last year, placing these young scholars in a precarious position regarding their education and future careers.

Khuehami said that, nursing students at DBU have been protesting against the University administration’s arbitrary decision to transfer their admissions to a college that lacks approval from the INC (Indian Nursing Council) and PNRC (Punjab Nursing Registration Council). These students’ futures hang in the balance. On September 14th, while peacefully protesting, female students were subjected to a lathi charge and confined within a university building in an attempt to silence their voices against this unjust decision.
DBU’s transfer of approximately 70 Kashmiri students enrolled in various paramedical courses to Sardar Lal Singh College without their consent has left these young scholars in a situation beyond their control. Furthermore, it has come to light that the university admitted a total of 140 students, significantly exceeding the approved intake capacity, which typically ranges from 40 to 60 students.
Khuehami urged Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure the preservation of these students’ registrations, allowing them to continue their nursing education without further hindrance. JKSA seeks a transparent and expeditious investigation into how DBU admitted more students than permitted by the Indian Nursing Council. Holding those responsible accountable for this grievous breach is paramount.
JKSA appeals to the sense of justice and compassion of Shah to assist these students who have been unjustly caught in this predicament. They await his prompt attention to this matter, which would provide much-needed relief to these young minds and ensure that their educational dreams are not shattered.
