“It is our gesture of gratitude for the former Prime Minister and one of the most popular politicians of all time Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji,” said SP Singh, vice-chancellor, LU.

Vajpayee, who passed away last year, was also an MP from Lucknow and shared a long-time bond with the city.

The council also gave approval to new courses to be run by 61 city- based colleges.

The panel also heard the issue of termination of some of university employees and decided to extend their services following serious deliberation.

A few executive council members also raised questions regarding the investigation of the fake marksheet racket unearthed in the university earlier this year.
