The University Grants Commission has asked all universities, colleges and technical institutions to put up banners thanking Prime Minister Modi for "starting free vaccination for 18 years and above age group", PTI reported quoting sources.
In a WhatsApp message sent to various university officials, UGC Secretary Rajnish Jain also asked the institutions to share the banners on their social media pages.
At least three universities confirmed having received the "directive", the PTI report said.
The revised guidelines for Covid-19 vaccination announced by the Prime Minister earlier this month came into effect on Monday. Under these guidelines, those aged 18 and above are eligible for free vaccination.
