UoH Vice-Chancellor asks students to focus on studies

With the University of Hyderabad students’ Joint Action Committee calling for a nationwide call for protest and boycott of classes, vice-chancellor Prof. Appa Rao released a notification on Sunday stating that the students who want to attend classes would be getting support from him and the teachers.

Earlier, students had called for a boycott of classes in February when the Vice-Chancellor was on leave. In his notification, Prof Appa Rao asked students to focus on their studies instead of getting deterred by any other persuasions.

The notification read:

"Students should think only about their studies, classes, minor examinations and semester exams, and should not be deterred by any advice or persuasion to the contrary. You will get all possible support from me and your teachers in this regard.”
