New Delhi: Days after the University Grants Commission (UGC) directed colleges to create selfie points featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the background, the regulatory body has withdrawn the suggested designs linked to the directive.
The directive received significant backlash, with many saying that it was equivalent to a “cult-building” exercise while others called it a campaign for Modi ahead of the 2024 general elections.
