New Delhi, India, March 14, 2024 — Coca-Cola India is introducing Coca-Cola Foodmarks in India as part of its global campaign, ‘A Recipe for Magic.’ This campaign celebrates the unique culinary experiences around the world that Coca-Cola enhances. Coca-Cola Foodmarks features global ‘food landmarks,’ destinations, and experiences that are ideal when you have the perfect moment, a delicious meal, and an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

The event was nostalgic, reminiscent of Hindi Cinema’s pivotal era. Bollywood celebrities Janhvi Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor attended the event, making it even more special.

The Coca-Cola Foodmarks experience transported the guests back to the golden age of Bollywood in the 1950s, evoking the atmosphere of Raj Kapoor’s on-set meal moments. The immersive film set was complemented by interactive moments using cutting-edge A.I. technology, taking guests through Bollywood. The decor, which included stardom posters and a musical stairway, added to the ambiance, while extraordinary photo backdrops provided the perfect photo opportunities. The evening was made even more enchanting by the arrival of the Kapoor stars in vintage cars, which added to the overall charm of the event. Local influencers and dignitaries also attended to experience the magic of Coca-Cola Foodmarks.

Panjab University Chandigarh averts its inclusion in the UGC's "Defaulting Universities" list by fully complying with the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations and duly appointing an Ombudsperson.
UPDATE
MARCH 14, 2024
UGC has published a Public Notice and released an updated list of Defaulting Universities that have still not appointed Ombudspersons in compliance with the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023.
• Updated List of Defaulting State Universities as of March 12, 2024.
Photo: Gandhi Bhawan, Panjab University Chandigarh (Photo for Representation).
MANDATORY
• Each University must appoint an Ombudsperson to address the grievances of students enrolled in the University and affiliated colleges/institutions.
UNIVERSITY’S PENCHANT FOR HARASSING & VICTIMIZING
• The grievances include non-transparent or unfair evaluation practices and the University’s penchant for harassing and victimizing students.
MUST DISPLAY OMBUDSPERSON DETAILS
• Per the UGC regulations, each University and its affiliated colleges must display the particulars and contact details of the Ombudsperson and students’ grievance redressal committee (SGRC) on their websites and at prominent places on their campuses.
CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE
• If an institution willfully contravenes these regulations, the UGC will take one or more of the following actions:
Withdrawing declaration of fitness to receive grants under section 12B of the UGC Act.
Withholding any grant allocated to the Institution.
Declaring the Institution ineligible for consideration for any assistance under any of the Commission’s general or special assistance programs.
Declaring the Institution ineligible to offer courses through Online/ODL mode for a specified period.
Withdrawing/withholding/suspending the approval for offering courses through Online/ODL mode.
Informing the general public, including potential candidates for admission, through a notice displayed prominently in suitable media and posted on the Commission’s website, declaring that the Institution does not possess the minimum standards for redressal of grievances.
Recommending the State Government to take necessary and appropriate action if a University is established or incorporated under a State Act.
New Delhi, India, January 31, 2023 — On April 11, 2023, UGC notified the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023, in the Official Gazette of India. Following this, the UGC sent a letter to the University Vice-Chancellors asking them to appoint ombudspersons within 30 days.
The UGC again wrote to the Vice-Chancellors of all Universities and asked them to implement the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023, and appoint Ombudspersons on or before December 31, 2023.
The UGC told the universities that they must comply with the Regulations, and if a university continues to be non-compliant, the UGC will take punitive action against it.
On January 17, 2024, the UGC released a “Public Notice” listing the “Defaulting Universities” that have failed to appoint Ombudspersons.
The list contained the names of more than 200 Universities that defaulted on appointing Ombudspersons per the regulations.
In its January 17, 2024, “Public Notice,” the UGC directed that those universities who appoint Ombudsperson (s) subsequently may communicate it to the UGC so that it may remove their name from the “Defaulters” list.
Meanwhile, Panjab University at Chandigarh has fully complied with the UGC directive on the University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023. It has constituted a Student Grievances Redressal Committee (SGRC) and has duly appointed an Ombudsperson.
Thus, it has averted getting branded a “Defaulter” by the UGC. Consequently, the name of Panjab University Chandigarh does not appear on UGC’s “Defaulting Universities” list.
However, per the directives of the UGC, Panjab University and its affiliated colleges must prominently display the contact details of the Student Grievances Redressal Committee (SGRC) and the Ombudsperson on their campuses.
