Punjab University Senate Poll Schedule Approved

The Vice President of India, who is also the chancellor of Panjab University, has approved the schedule for the university's senate elections.

This approval comes after nearly a month of protests by students who were demanding the announcement of the election schedule.

The elections are set to be held from September 7, 2026, to October 4, 2026.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann praised the students, teachers, and faculty for their perseverance during the protests.

The initial protests were triggered by the Centre's decision to restructure the university's governing bodies, but the Ministry of Education later withdrew that decision.

The approval of the election schedule has been hailed as a victory by the protesting students and the Chief Minister.
