Expenditures under key academic heads such as laboratories, fieldwork and conference travel, seminars and workshops, and scholarships have witnessed drastic reductions of more than 80 per cent between 2015-16 and 2021-22 at Jawaharlal Nehru University.
With the spending cuts ranging from 92.6 per cent on fieldwork and conference travel to 78.8 per cent on organising seminars and workshops, JNU teachers have alleged that the university no longer prioritises academic activities and research.
