The student-led Pinjra Tod movement, which began in Delhi eleven years ago, has now been taken up at Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak, Haryana.
Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) in Rohtak, Haryana, witnessed the arrival of the Pinjra Tod campaign, a student-driven initiative that first emerged in Delhi over a decade ago. The event marks the expansion of the movement beyond the national capital, indicating its growing resonance among university students in northern India. Organisers at MDU welcomed the campaign, highlighting its relevance to local student concerns. While the original launch in Delhi focused on broader issues of student rights, the Rohtak extension underscores the demand for similar dialogues within Haryana's higher‑education institutions. The campus authorities have allowed the gathering, and participants are expected to hold discussions and awareness sessions in the coming days.
