Controversy Erupts Over Gujarat University's iPad Purchase
Imagine a school board buying fancy tablets for themselves.
Some students are upset because they think the school is wasting money.
The students, represented by the NSUI, believe the school is misusing funds, especially since the Vice-Chancellor already gave out money to people.
They're worried about whether the new tablets will be used for schoolwork or something else.
They want the school to stop buying the tablets and promise to be more open about how they spend money.
The students are planning to protest if their demands are not met.

The university procured eight iPads worth Rs 1.28 lakh.
NSUI raised concerns about financial irregularities and misuse of funds.
The VC had previously distributed monetary rewards to staff.
