1.Modi to unveil statue of Swami Vivekananda
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the statue of Swami Vivekananda installed in the university campus, through video-conference on November 12 at 6:30 pm.
Before the unveiling of the statue, a program will be organized on Swami Vivekananda.
The statue of Swami Vivekananda has been installed at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) with the help of alumni.
The idol is 11.5 feet in length while its platform is 3 feet high. This statue is about three feet high than the statue of Pandit Nehru.
2.Opposing PM Modi's program
Ahead of PM Modi's program, some groups of students in JNU have prepared to oppose it on social media and are preparing to run a social media campaign.
Congress member and JNU student Sunny Dhiman, on Monday posted a video trying to influence the students.
3.Protest against Jitendra Singh
This is not the first time JNU students are protesting against any program by this government. Only last year in October Left wing students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) staged a protest to oppose a lecture programme of Union Minister Jitendra Singh on revoking of special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
The situation turned unruly after RSS-affiliated ABVP students staged a counter protest on the campus.
To protest against Singh's presence, students linked to the All India Students' Association (AISA), a left-wing student organisation, raised slogans against the central government for its August 5 decision to scrap special status of Jammu and Kashmir granted under Article 370.

4.Protest against Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank
Last year in November, hundreds of students protested near the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi against the administration's 'anti-students' policy.
Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank was not able to come out of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), where Vice President Venkaiah Naidu is addressing the university's convocation at an auditorium.
The gates of the AICTE is around 3 km from JNU and the police had to request the students to let him go. (Image Source: Twitter@DrRPNishank)

6.Slogans against Manmohan Singh
In November 2005, slogans were raised against the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, when he had visited JNU to unveil a statue of Jawahalal Nehru, the country's first prime minister.
At that time some pro-Left student protestors raised slogans against the prime minister. Although PM Manmohan Singh finished his speech and left the campus, tensions continued to flare up with clashes between AISA and NSUI members.
The police intervened and four students were taken into custody. The university administration also moved against the protestors.
