PU Fortifies Female Quota in Student Council
Panjab University is creating a new rule to make sure more women are in charge of the student council.
They're working hard to make this rule official and make sure it follows all the laws.
A group of teachers is looking at how women have done in past student elections to see how well women students are represented in leadership roles.
The university wants the new rule to be fair and legal, considering women make up most of the students.
The teachers will also look at what other universities are doing to help create a solid plan.
