Women's College Professors Protest Forced Affiliation to New Bihar University
Faculty members of a women's college in Patna protested against their institution's forced affiliation to Mata Sita Women's University and demanded the revocation of the Bihar Special Universities Act, 2026. The act enables the creation of specialised universities with the chief minister as chancellor. The protest march from J D Women's College was disrupted after police detained several protesters due to public disorder. Protesters seek to remain under Patliputra University and maintain existing service conditions, while the government approved the new university framework under the act.
