The university will also provide free lodging, educational materials, and full academic support to the dependents of those who lost their lives in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Lucknow University has stepped forward with a humanitarian gesture following the tragic April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives at Baisaran meadow and left many injured.
In the wake of what is considered one of the most severe attacks in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2019 Pulwama bombing, the university announced that it will offer full educational support to the families of those who lost their lives.
Vice Chancellor Alok Rai said that the university is ready to support the victims' dependents by covering all educational expenses.
"We will welcome the dependents (of those who were killed in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack) to study at Lucknow University. The cost of their education, accommodation, books, etc., will be borne by the university," Rai said.
One of the victims, Shubham Dwivedi, was remembered by his wife, Eshanaay, who recalled the horrific moment when they were approached by a gunman who asked about their religion before shooting her husband.
In response to the attack, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized the state’s uncompromising stance on terrorism, reaffirming a strict "zero-tolerance" approach.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also held a high-level security review, convening a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at his residence.
This was followed by sessions of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), with a press briefing scheduled later in the day.
This deadly assault, which echoes the 2019 Pulwama tragedy that took the lives of 40 CRPF personnel, marks a grave moment for the region and has drawn nationwide attention to issues of security and civilian protection.
