In Kolkata, Jadavpur University has decided to provide accommodation to the freshers from Kashmir Valley in its hostel immediately on a priority basis. 

According to sources, the Registrar of the University Snehamanju Basu said that the decision has been taken in view of the abrogation of article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

The State Government has reportedly directed to the Education Department to watch out so that Kashmiri students do not face any hardship in any manner be it financial or otherwise.

The Arts Faculty Students Union (AFSU) of the varsity, a Left-controlled union, has opened a helpline to come to the aid of Kashmiri students studying in the institution.

Other educational institutions in West Bengal have also shown their solidarity for hassle-free education for Kashmiri students in the state.
