The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked Vice Chancellors of all Central, state, private and deemed universities to organise events on October 31 to celebrate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary.
As per the October 22 notification, institutes have also been asked to inform the UGC about the type of activities being planned to celebrate what it calls "Rashtriya Ekta Diwas or National Unity Day".
"We are all aware of Sardar Patel's contributions to India's unity, safety and security. As a mark of honour… you are requested to organise different events on October 31 on the campus," reads the UGC notification.
Institutes have been asked to administer the 'Rashtriya Ekta Diwas pledge' to all students, faculty and staff members, and organise a 'run for unity'. The letter also says that institutes can organise debate competitions, NCC march past and photo exhibitions, and screen documentary films on Patel.
"I am certain you could consider organising many other such activities which could spread the message of unity, safety and security. While you may prepare a list of activities which would be context specific with respect to your institution, you have to make it a point that you will accord top priority to administering the pledge and organising a run for unity," said the letter, signed by UGC chairman Ved Prakash, reported Indian Express.
