Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is preparing a nationwide programme under which a Union Minister will visit a university every day to interact
directly with students and understand their concerns. According to news agency PTI, the proposed initiative -- 'One Day, One University' -- is aimed at strengthening the government's engagement with young people. During these visits, the Union ministers are asked to hold discussions with students, hear their views on issues affecting the country and explain government schemes meant for students and young people. The government's push for the initiative came after the NEET paper leak issue intensified in Delhi and across the country, turning it political with Opposition parties raising the matter in Parliament. Education Minister Pralhad Joshi and Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya have been tasked with coordinating the programme with universities and other Union ministers, PTI reported, citing sources. It has been learnt that the initiative was also discussed at the Union Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday.
