INSO leader Sukhdev Kundu said that last year also, this matter was raised with the Hon'ble Vice Chancellor on July 4 & November 23, 2007, & Vice Chancellor Prof R.C. Sobti had accepted the demand of Group Insurance Scheme.

INSO leader said that this step would not cost much to the PU in terms of money but would go a long way to help in boosting the morale of student's community. This facility is already being provided to the teachers by university & students' community also deserved this facility. There should be no disparity and what is good and fine for teachers should also be available to the students, INSO memorandum said.
