A series of ethnic clashes started in Manipur in May 2023 and since then, a large number of people, including several students have been displaced to different states.
On November 28, the Supreme Court, led by a bench comprising Justice Chandrachud, directed the Centre and the Manipur government to address students’ grievances who sought accommodation at central universities due to the violence in the state. Further, on December 4, the Apex Court allowed the displaced students to continue their studies online or approach the Assam University and North Eastern Hill University for admission.
