He added that the varsity has requested alumni, chambers of commerce and industries, teachers and even other individuals to raise corpus funds to provide smartphones and data packs to help such students.

In response to the appeal, many people have already contributed and the varsity authorities are taking all the required steps to provide required help to the needy students as soon as possible, he said.
