It will be held across DK district in September. Later, it will be taken up in others, Kirthi Ganesh said.
Students are suffering from lack of bus connectivity to rural villages, failure to get scholarships among other issues. After the lockdown, the state introduced National Education Policy or (NEP) which had its own demerits. Under the Campus gate meet, Google forms will be sent to the students, to air their grievances.

“If the problems faced by the students require state government’s interference to solve it, it will be brought to the notice of the concerned minister to redress it. The NSUI is working for the interest of the students,” he said.
