Cochin University Employees Association opposes move to restrict Onam celebrations to a single day

The Cochin University Employees Association has expressed concern over the Syndicate's decision to limit Onam celebrations at Cusat to a single day. This move came during the Syndicate's inaugural meeting on August 14. The association argued that Onam was traditionally celebrated across multiple days at various institutions, including government offices, to accommodate everyone's convenience.

The Syndicate's decision, which would see the festival compressed into one day, was aimed at streamlining events. The university maintained that this was part of their effort to organize the festival more cohesively.
