Twitter temporarily deactivated or restricted the twitter handle of Amul, an Indian dairy company. The action has been taken after the company came up with its latest poster. Additionally, the poster shows the ‘exit of dragon’ from the country. Moreover, this poster was released just days ahead of the much awaited high-level talk between China and India. There has been tension due to Ladakh border dispute between both the countries.

However, the account of Amul was restored later by Twitter.

In this topical, one could see a girl in confrontation with the dragon. Furthermore, it also shows various Chinese apps such as Tik-Tok and others in the background.

Amul has always been popular for its topicals. Additionally, these topicals always relate to the latest topics that make the headlines in the news. This topical is based on the idea of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India), as Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of the country asked the country to be self reliant. The Prime Minister has also further asked his citizens to not depend on Chinese products. Since then, there has been a rise in the anti-China sentiments. Twitter further stated that, “This action was taken because of the dairy company’s concern for safety and security.”

The Indian dairy company came forward and issued a statement saying the company had brought down the Amul’s Twitter account during late night hours on 4 June. He further mentioned in this statement that the same happened because of the topical which mentions boycotting of Chinese products. Calling “aatmanirbharbharat” with the copy of “Exit the Dragon”. Further mentioning that the same was done without giving any prior notice or warnings.

Twitter came ahead to reply. It stated that the restriction on the Twitter account of Amul was in no way related to the topical.

The Governor, went on to add that the implementation of this decision would menace with the future of the students. Moreover, he also decsribed the announcement as unparalleled and also illogical on the terms of legal consequences. Going on further, he wrote a letter to the Chief Minister, expressing his disagreement with the decision of the state regarding the final examinations. He further mentioned his surprise with the decision in the letter, writing that he wasn’t expecting this decision of cancelling the exams. This letter was written on Tuesday. He still awaits for the response.

This letter further mentions that the vice chancellors of different state universities have showed their preparedness for conducting exams.

Furthermore, the Governor also expressed his annoyance regarding the delay in presentation of the report of the conducting of the exams. The report, made by committee of Vice Chancellor which was constituted by the Minister for Higher and Technical Education was sent to the secretary on 6th May. But the same has yet not been presented to the Governor. This report consists of various alternatives for conducting exams.

He also mentioned problems of students of law, medicine,etc. These students need to register themselves with professional bodies. This will enable them to work with required licence. The Governor stated the registration issues without evaluation of final exams.

He further went on to say that CBSE and ICSE boards are taking the leftover exams. Hence, the universities can too take a step forward in the same direction.

The Delhi University has been ranked ‘A+’ in the NAAC review with a 3.8 CGPA. The review was held in the last week of October. The council’s grading is crucial as it is important for grants & funds alloted the varsity by the Univeristy Grants Commission (UGC).

The accreditation is as per the revised A&A Framework launched by NAAC in July 2017. The aim was to make it more ICT enabled, objective, transparent, scalable and robust. The primary focus of the shift is from qualitative peer judgment to data-based quantitative indicator evaluation with increased objectivity and transparency. These include combination of online evaluation (about 70 per cent) and peer judgment (about 30 per cent).

Before NAAC team’s visit, the varsity’s mock testing teams conducted visits to departments to check if they’re prepared for the actual review. A questionnaire containing 108 questions was sent to various department heads in this regard.

The questionnaire included questions such as, do they celebrate national festivals, observe birth & death anniversaries of great Indian personalities, Is there a policy to check plagiarism, among others.

The accreditation is valid for a period of 5 years, starting from November 30, 2018. The University is looking forward to a better grade of  ‘A++’ which falls between 3.51 to 4. Last year, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was ranked with ‘A++’ in the NAAC review.
