Jammu University Initiates Audit of Academic Materials Following Government Directive
Jammu University has ordered a comprehensive audit of all its libraries, offices, and digital repositories to ensure no books or publications with anti-national, separatist, or objectionable content are present. This follows the Jammu and Kashmir government's directive to withdraw two controversial books from school libraries that included separatist leaders among notable personalities. The university plans to implement stringent screening and periodic scrutiny of academic materials, aligning with government actions that also blacklisted certain authors and publishers amid concerns over content promoting secessionism.
