A wave of student protests has erupted at Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU) in Amarkantak as the administration’s decision to close the central library at 6 PM daily has sparked widespread dissatisfaction. The students claim that the early closure hinders their academic preparation and limits access to essential study resources, which are crucial for their educational development and career prospects.

According to the protestors, the administration’s approach is being perceived as autocratic, ignoring the needs of the student community. The students argue that the central library, a key resource for learning and research, should be accessible round-the-clock to allow them to make full use of the facilities.
