3. The principal, on the other hand, stated that students approached him to request permission to install an Idol on campus to commemorate Shri Saraswati Devi Puja in the University. But they were advised to celebrate the festival in all three hostels separately by placing photographs of the Deity. The University administration made it clear that anyone seeking to do Shri Saraswati Devi Puja must do it in their own room. However, they did not accept the decision and huddled. According to the Principal, the decision was made to avert any communal strife.
