The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union has accused the varsity of dropping the subscription of important journals over paucity of funds. Making the announcement at a press conference, the students body shared documents of the Library Advisory Committee meeting held last month. These include EBSCO -International Security and Counterterrorism, Wiley Subject Collection Journal, Nature Journals, Sage Journals, Cambridge Journal, Cell Press Journal and Science Direct, the JNUSU said. It accused the varsity administration of cutting down library funds from Rs 8 crore to Rs 1.7 crore. The JNU students union, however, expressed fear that the journals might not be renewed next year.
