Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is confirmed by the PMO to speak at Shri Ram College of Commerce’s 100th‑year centenary at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 5.
- SRCC has moved into high‑security mode with visible disruptions to campus life, including closure of the sports complex and tightened entry controls that have left many students anxious about obtaining passes.
- The Aam Aadmi Party’s student wing, Association of Students for Alternative Politics (ASAP), has announced a demonstration at SRCC from 10 a.m. to press questions about the July 20 Jantar Mantar lathi‑charge.
- Organisers expect Modi’s address to stress the role of higher education and youth in national development, and the visit marks his return to SRCC after a 2013 appearance and earlier centenary engagements such as a commemorative stamp release.
- Watch for immediate effects on student life and campus access rules, the conduct and policing of the morning protest, and whether the prime minister’s remarks respond to student concerns about accountability and campus participation.
