A high-octane motorcycle rally in Pathalgada, Chatra, has spotlighted strong local endorsement for the University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations amid fervent calls for academic fairness. Departing from the block HQ, the bike brigade toured villages before converging at Gandhi Chowk for a dynamic public address.
Spearheaded by Chandramani Yadav of the UGC Support Front, with Ashish Dangi and Tirthnath Dangi by his side, the rally embodied collective resolve. Riders donned banners proclaiming support for merit-driven university policies.
The itinerary was exhaustive: Gandhi Chowk to Subhash Chowk, Barwadih, Dumbi, Belhar, Chautha, Navadih, Bajobar, Ichak, Qubba, Angara, Banwara, Pathalgada, Singhani, Lemboiya, Tetaria, and Non. Each stop amplified the campaign’s reach.
Speakers at the conclave—including CPI’s Arjun Kumar, Rajendra Prasad (ex-mukhiya), Vasudev Dangi, Krishna Dangi, Sukhsagar Rana, Baiju Yadav—hailed the UGC Act as pro-nation and anti-discrimination. Tailored for Dalits, minorities, Adivasis, EWS, and OBCs, they insisted the Centre implement it decisively.
The gathering pulsed with pro-UGC chants, forging a sense of unity. This initiative reveals surging public sentiment in rural Jharkhand for systemic change in education governance.
As engines faded into the evening, the rally’s impact lingered, poised to fuel ongoing dialogues and actions that could redefine access and equity in Indian higher education for generations.
