DUSU has announced a march from Mandi House to MHRD while the ABVP will be marching from Sabarmati Dhaba inside the JNU campus.

"DUSU extends its support to JNU and calls for a march to MHRD. It's a fight to reclaim higher education! Affordable education is a right and not a privilege! Students from JNU and DU would march together to MHRD!," said DUSU in a statement.

On Monday, thousands of JNU students had marched towards the Parliament demanding complete fee rollback along with other demands.
