Just 3 days left for Rajasthan varsity exam, but 40% yet to get jabs | Jaipur News
With more than 1 lakh students sitting for the examination, students are demanding to speed up the vaccination process and organise special camps for them. In RU, three vaccination camps were organised, but they don’t seem to be enough for the students as many of them are residing outside Jaipur.
People stand in a long queue outside a vaccination centre in Walled City area.
A student Shelly Sharma said that it is dangerous to think of attending the examination without being vaccinated. “I really want all the students to get vaccinated at least one dose so that it will not be a trouble or they will not be at risk of getting infected,” said Sharma.
Another student Rohit Thamet, who will be sitting in the examination on July 29, said that his parents are worried about sending him to a place with hundreds of other students present.
NSUI state spokesperson Ramesh Bhati said, “NSUI organised three vaccination camps in the university campus, but they are not enough. It will become dangerous to be present in the same examination centre with hundreds of other students. That will become a place of infection. We request the government to start special vaccination camps for students and have 100% students vaccinated before the examination.”
RU registrar K M Duriya said that they have organised camps for students to get vaccinated and have written to district administration as well for the same. “We have organised camps and have asked to get vaccinated for safety. In other parts of the state, vaccination is going on, but if necessary we will have more camps for students.”
