The governor of the North Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has directed all higher education universities in the state to establish “dharmantaran roktham cells,” or conversion-prevention cells, to address alleged unlawful religious conversion activities on campuses. The directive has been issued to all universities, medical colleges, dental colleges, and other higher educational institutions across the state and calls for counseling mechanisms, monitoring systems, reporting protocols, student welfare measures, and preventive safeguards. The order follows recent investigations and controversies linked to alleged conversion-related cases in educational institutions, particularly in several medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh.
