Amidst ongoing strikes at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), students have adapted to the closure of classrooms by conducting classes in the university's lawn under the open sky. This unusual sight attracted a significant number of students, engaging in a lecture on the topic of 'Global South' led by former JNU professor Nivedita Menon. The educational initiative aimed to continue studies despite the disruptions caused by the strikes and showcases students' determination to pursue their academic goals.

The strike, initiated by the JNU Student Union (JNUSU), has paralyzed regular classroom education for the past week. Consequently, both students and teachers collaborated to facilitate this open-air session, highlighting their commitment to academic freedom and expression. It serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of student bodies in India, particularly in the face of administrative challenges and educational constraints brought about by such strikes.

During the outdoor class session, JNUSU president Aditi Mishra made serious allegations against the university administration and the Vice Chancellor. Mishra accused the Vice Chancellor of failing to communicate with student representatives and claimed that the administration was spreading misinformation. She also alleged that the Vice Chancellor was involved in corruption. These accusations raise significant concerns about the governance of the university and the treatment of student voices in matters that directly affect their education and welfare.
