Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
There is no proposal for changing the name of the Jawaharlal Nehru University, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said on Monday.
BJP general secretary C T Ravi had proposed last year a name change of the JNU after Swami Vivekananda. No sir, Nishank said in response to a question in the Lok Sabha whether the government had any proposal for changing the name of the university in Delhi.
In November, Ravi had tweeted: It is Swami Vivekananda who stood for the Idea of Bharat .His philosophy & values signify the Strength of Bharat .
