BJYM's 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' enters Madhya Pradesh after 18 days of seva
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM)'s 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' entered Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, after traversing through various states and also marking completion of 18 days of 'seva' (public service). The Seva Sankalp Yatra, steered by the BJYM -- the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -- is being organised across the country through awareness drives and bike rallies, to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's twenty-five years of 'seva'. Inspired by PM Modi's 'seva' for more than two decades, the Yatra seeks to transform the idea of Seva into a people-led movement, taking the message of service, responsibility and nation-building to communities across the country. According to BJYM, the Yatra progressed across 20 routes in six states today -- one in Madhya Pradesh, seven in Rajasthan, one in Chhattisgarh, six in Uttar Pradesh, two in Jharkhand and three in Gujarat, hoping to build greater public participation. Speaking about the Yatra's mission, the BJYM National President Hemang Joshi said, The energy of our Seva Yatris is growing with every passing day. Eighteen days into this journey, their enthusiasm remains as strong as it was on Day One, because they are not merely travelling a route, they are carrying forward the vision of Seva that has defined PM Narendra Modi Ji's public life. The smiles, participation and affection we are receiving from people at every halt are giving our young Seva Yatris even greater inspiration to serve and contribute towards a Viksit Bharat. The Seva Sankalp Yatra reflects the journey of PM Modi from Vadnagar to national stage, with Vadnagar representing the values, struggles and early influences that shaped his life and Varanasi representing a major chapter of his public service. At every halt, Seva Yatris are turning their commitment into meaningful action through cleanliness drives, tree plantation, water conservation, Gau Seva, service to senior citizens, Jan Samwad and community-oriented activities, the BYJM said in a statement. As the Seva Sankalp Yatra moves forward, the growing enthusiasm of Seva Yatris and the increasing participation of people along the routes are giving renewed strength to its central message the journey of Seva continues, the Sankalp grows stronger, and the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' moves forward with every step, it said.

KGMU warns nursing students of disciplinary action over protest, attendance impact
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 29 (IANS) The King Georges Medical University (KGMU) administration has warned nursing students participating in a renewed protest that disciplinary action could be taken against them if they remain absent from scheduled teaching and training activities. In a letter addressed to the parents of nursing students, the university said students participating in the protest and remaining absent from their academic and training duties could face action under applicable rules and regulations. According to the letter, students were participating in the protest from 8 a.m. on September 28 and were absent from their prescribed teaching and training activities. The administration said participation in protests that disrupt teaching, training and essential patient-related work was inconsistent with university discipline and students academic responsibilities. The letter specifically warned that disciplinary proceedings could have consequences for students academic records and examinations. Such action may include, as per rules, an adverse entry in the character record/file, impact on eligibility to appear in examinations and other prescribed punitive action, along with a monetary penalty, the letter said. The university further cautioned that such action could adversely affect students academic record and future career. KGMU appealed to parents to ask their sons and daughters to immediately withdraw from the protest and return to their scheduled teaching and training duties. It warned that failure to comply with the universitys directions could result in disciplinary proceedings under the applicable rules. The renewed protest follows the death of a 2025-batch B.Sc. Nursing student in Varanasi. The incident had earlier prompted nursing students to stage protests on August 21 and 22, according to the KGMU letter. The administration said that following the earlier protest, the Vice-Chancellor had met the students and considered their concerns and demands. The university also said that necessary action had been taken and a separate Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) had been issued concerning students safety and facilities. However, the latest letter states that despite these measures, some nursing students again participated in a sit-in protest on September 28 and remained absent from their scheduled teaching and training activities. KGMU said students have academic responsibilities that include teaching, training and essential duties related to patients. It maintained that participation in protests that interfere with these responsibilities would not be considered consistent with university discipline. The warning comes as the university seeks to enforce attendance and academic requirements while students continue to raise concerns over issues affecting nursing students. The administration has made clear that students who do not follow the universitys directions may face disciplinary proceedings, including possible adverse entries in their records, consequences for examination eligibility and financial penalties, as provided under the applicable rules.
