The counsel of chancellor and submitted that the latter had circulated the draft statutes for holding students union polls to all universities seeking their suggestions, opinions and objections.

The Punjab University Vice Chancellor also announced an advanced research centre to be set up on the campus in the name of Jayaprakash Narayan. The UGC and the Indian Council of social science Research (ICSSR) have already assured the university of providing necessary funds for the purpose. Inter-discipline research on political and democratic thoughts of JP would be carried out at this centre.
