Newshour Debate: Unmukt versus college - (Part 2 of 2)

Days after being hailed as a hero for leading the India Under-19 side to World Cup victory, cricketer Unmukt Chand is in an unenviable position as he stands to lose a year of college due to low attendance. The Delhi University rules mandate a student to have at least 33.3 per cent attendance in an academic session after all exemptions, but Unmukt, a student of St Stephen's college, could not attend the requisite number of tutorials owing to his cricketing engagements. In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists -- Rev. Valson Thampu, Principal, St. Stephen's College; Ajay Maken, Union Sports Minister; Kirti Azad, MP Lok Sabha, BJP; Jerry Fernandez, Retired Sailor; Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Founder & Executive Vice Chairman Naukri.com and Dr. Kavita Sharma, Former Principal, Hindu College debate the issue.
