In a first of its kind move which will bring huge respite to over 6.5 lakh students of the Mumbai University, Vice Chancellor Dr Suhas Pednekar has started Vidyarthi Samvad, to meet them and resolve their problems. The VC and other top officials will meet students to resolve their queries and problems regarding examinations and related issues under this initiative.

The first Vidyarthi Samvad was held on Tuesday (April 19). It will be held every Tuesday in the new exam section building at the university’s Kalina campus. “The idea is to fast track the process of resolving issues so students can discuss them with the VC in person,” said a university spokesperson.
