Came to Delhi in 2004..worked in a call centre before taking admission in JNU. Had I not cracked the JNU entrance test, I might not have got higher education coz it was unaffordable for me. Even 5k/month was too much. JNU made it possible. In solidarity with JNU! #JNUProtest
Still remember the initial semesters when mess would be closed on certain festivals & many of us would worry for dinner coz JNU's cheap dhabas too were too much for us. Thanks to subsidised mess food and MCM scholarship, I could study to be a taxpayer. #JNUProtest
