Punjab University Bachao Morcha transforms into a community sewa hub with daily langar as students demand the long-delayed Senate election schedule.

The current Punjab University Bachao Morcha, which was started to demand the release of the Senate election timetable, has progressively evolved into a bustling community service center that, because of its growing langar sewa, has been compared to a miniature Kisan Morcha.

For the past few weeks, students, neighborhood sympathizers, and even young children have been actively participating in the protest location across from the vice chancellor’s office. A organized effort to distribute meals and rally support has grown out of what started as a typical protest.

Dal, roti, tea, cookies, choori, sandwiches, sugarcane juice, bread pakodas, rice, and kheer are among the many culinary items each day that are provided to guests. These food donations are made by volunteers, students, and residents of neighboring communities. The students who are demonstrating have developed a sense of self-sufficiency and unity as a result of this constant supply.

Public figures, including artists and political leaders, have also taken notice of the protest site and come to show their support. Even though the temperature has been dropping, students have stayed at the location day and night. To be present and keep the protest going, they have set up little tents and sleep on mattresses.

There is also a little reading nook with a selection of books for guests and attendees. The project is a reflection of the agitation’s intellectual and cultural character.

Students for Society (SFS) member Gagandeep Singh said that the demonstration began with students running to a neighboring cafe for tea. Over time, residents of the nearby villages and urban areas started bringing food and supplies, transforming the protest site into a sewa hub supported by the community. Singh observed that the varied food contributions are now coming willingly, with the help of locals and supporters who are inspired by the cause.

The current morcha is still calm but resolute. Students stress that the key demand, which is to announce the calendar for the long-awaited Senate election, has not been met. Their persistence shows that they are becoming increasingly irritated with administrative hold-ups.

Daily langar service, community support, and consistent participation have all contributed to the movement’s growth, showcasing the students’ tenacity as well as the sewa culture that has grown to be essential to the demonstration.
