The Modi government is planning a nationwide initiative called "One Day, One University," where Union ministers will visit a university every day to interact directly with students.
Key Details:
- Open-House Format: Students can ask questions, voice concerns, and share feedback on key issues like jobs, skills, and education. Ministers will also explain relevant government youth schemes.
- Leadership: Education Minister Pralhad Joshi and Youth Affairs Minister Mansukh Mandaviya are coordinating the rollout, including institution schedules and minister assignments.
- Recording Access: Reports suggest students will be allowed to freely record interactions on their mobile devices.
- Scope: The initiative aims to reach institutions across India, which has nearly 1,300 universities—including 57 central and 522 state universities.
The initiative was discussed in a recent Union Cabinet meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi, alongside other youth-focused efforts like a national platform for free competitive exam coaching. Official dates and minister assignments are still being finalized.
