To that effect, the NLU-O student body has provided a comprehensive list of demands, spanning across infrastructural issues and unreasonable fee hikes, to arbitrary examination policies, curfew timings and faculty accountability.

Ensuring proper maintenance of these facilities, plus the creation of new facilities like a library and a new girls hostel, are some demands that they’re hoping the administration would act upon.
