Newsclick's Daily Round-up brings you the news that is important, but not so trending. In this episode, we talk about the new guidelines for women’s studies centres issued by the University Grants Commission (UGC), which have raised serious concerns among the teachers and students across the country. We also talk about an investigation carried by Newsclick which revealed that the Delhi-based Himachal Futuristic Company Ltd (HFCL) “won” the bid (to be L1) after several tender clauses were said to have been diluted or circumvented by BSNL. CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury talks to Newsclick about the dangers posed by the BJP to the country. He discusses CPI(M)'s key campaign plank in the upcoming elections and the party's strategy in Kerala and in West Bengal.
