Dear Students:
Trust this mail finds you well.
We want to begin by acknowledging the concerns many of you have shared about the air-conditioning issues in some of our residential hostels, while noting that the systems are working fine in a few others residential hostels of the University. This is an unusual and unprecedented situation for us as a University. Your comfort and well-being are our top priority, and we sincerely appreciate the patience and understanding you have shown as we work to resolve these challenges at the earliest.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the University has decided to suspend all classes for one week. Classes will resume on Monday, 25 August 2025. This period will give our engineers and technicians the necessary time to carry out urgent and comprehensive work on the AC chiller systems so that, when the classes resume, the campus environment is comfortable and conducive to both living and learning.
This decision was taken after comprehensive consultations with key stakeholders of the University. The Vice Chancellor, Registrar, and senior leadership team held detailed discussions with the Presidents of the Student Councils of all Schools of JGU, who unanimously agreed that this was the most appropriate step under the present circumstances. The Vice Chancellor also consulted the Deans of all Schools/ Institute, and they too extended their full support to this decision.
Students who have travelled home for the long weekend may choose to remain at home and return for classes next week, or they may return to campus earlier if they wish. Similarly, any student who is on campus and would like to go home during this week is free to do so as the choice rests entirely with the students. Please note that during this period the University will remain fully open. All facilities, including the Academic Block, will continue to be accessible to students.
1. While formal classes will remain suspended, all 150 classrooms in the Academic Block will remain open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM for self-study, group discussions, or quiet work.
2. The Constitution Museum and History cafe will be opem, functional and accessible to all students.
3. The Vidya Devi Jindal Dining Block and all the food courts will be fully open, functional and accessible to all students.
4. All food courts in Crossover Commons will be fully open, functional and accessible to all students.
5. All office hours, tutorials, scheduled assessments, quizzes, and mid term examinations during this week will be rescheduled to a later date. Revised timelines will be communicated well in advance to give you sufficient preparation time. No student will be disadvantaged in terms of academic evaluation.
6. The global library, student lounges, and other student resources, including RASA will be open, accessible and fully functional.
7. The Performing Arts Academy will be open, functional and accessible to all students.
8. All facilities in the Naveen Jindal Sports Academy will remain fully available to you.
9. All the outdoor sports facilities including the lawn tennis courts, padel tennis courts and horse riding facilities will be open, functional and accessible to all students.
10. University Health Services Centre and Sukoon will be open and fully functional.
Please be assured that all faculty members are aware of this adjustment and will adapt their course plans accordingly.
We remain fully committed to keeping you informed with timely updates on the progress of the AC chiller repair and maintenance work.
While this situation is temporary, it also offers an opportunity to slow down, take care of yourself, and connect with one another in ways that the regular pace of classes often does not allow. Whether through reading, meaningful conversations, or recreational activities, we hope you are able to find value in this short pause.
We sincerely thank you once again for your patience, resilience, and cooperation. Together, we will ensure that our campus continues to be a place of comfort, learning, and growth.
Thanks and best wishes,
Sridhar
