LU plans political museum, new dedicated space for pol science dept, exam building
'The museum will include photos, busts or both of leading political thinkers. A showcase with the photos and busts where writings of the political leaders will be displayed is also planned. We will also include write-ups on political leaders in the showcase,' said Rai.
He said that along with the museum, the political science department will also be shifted on the first and second floor of the building housing HRDC. At present, political science classes are held in the rooms shared with the Hindi department. The shifting of the departments will provide proper space to both Hindi and political science departments.
'This shift is made possible due to the construction of a new examination building near the Cameroon Road. The area for the examination building was cleared after two residences formerly constructed for faculty members which were lying deserted for a long time due to their dilapidated state were razed,' said Rai.
Currently, evaluation of examination copies is done in six buildings - one housing HRDC, in the buildings housing SBI bank and UCO bank, in the buildings housing Jyotirvigyan department, ONGC and in some portions of Arts Quadrangle.
'The new building will enable us to provide appropriate space for various departments through re-shuffling and have one specified hub for examination purposes. The new evaluation building will be centrally air conditioned with proper seating space for over 200 people on each floor. The building will have ground plus four floors in all. It will also have a separate designated space for examination copies,' Rai added.
He also said that they are also planning to bring UCO bank in the same building as SBI bank which will provide an appropriate space for banking.

AAP leader Raghav Chadha shares video on day in the life of a Member of Parliament: ‘Day starts at 6 and ends at…'
Raghav Chadha, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP, recently gave his followers a peek into what a normal working day looks like for him when Parliament is in session. In an Instagram reel titled 'A Day in the Life of a Member of Parliament,' he walked viewers through his schedule, which, he said, kicks off as early as 6 am. 'As a member of parliament, when the Parliament is in session, the day is full of action and activity,' he says as the video begins. The video shows him starting the morning with a steaming cup of tea and a deep dive into the day's news. Chadha says he reads seven to eight newspapers daily, from English publications like Hindustan Times, The Times of India, The Indian Express, and The Hindu to Hindi dailies including Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Punjab Kesari and Hindustan. Parliament proceedings, he explained, start at 11 am with Zero Hour, where MPs get 'three uninterrupted minutes to speak' if their topic is chosen. That's followed by Question Hour from 12 to 1 pm, when ministers respond to selected questions from members. A lunch break runs from 1 to 2 pm. Post-lunch, Chadha says, 'the legislative business of the government begins,' which means bills are tabled and subjected to 'detailed discussion, dialogue and debate.' The final hour of the day is dedicated to Special Mentions, issues of urgent public importance that MPs submit in writing to be read out in the House. In the caption, he wrote: 'Our day begins before the Parliament does. A cup of chai, a stack of newspapers, and preparation for the debates ahead.' A post shared by Raghav Chadha (@raghavchadha88) The reel, which has crossed four million views, has drawn praise for its rare, behind-the-scenes look. One viewer commented, 'Always wanted to know this… thanks for such informative video.' Another wrote, 'We need our MPs to share useful knowledge like this to everyone! Very nice. Thanks!' Someone else remarked more critically, 'I guess… more than half of the MPs probably don't even know what their job is or what the purpose of attending a session is.'
