His activities, according to Ronak Khatri, were meant to draw attention to what he saw as the “absurd and unscientific” behaviors being encouraged on campus.
Ronak Khatri, the president of the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU), smeared cow excrement on the walls of the principal’s office at Lakshmibai College during a dramatic altercation. The act, according to Khatri, was a protest over the principal’s decision to use cow dung in classrooms “to beat the heat.”
Khatri is seen arguing with the vice principal in the absence of the college principal in a video that went viral on social media on Tuesday.
The principal’s office’s walls and restroom are then covered in cow manure by the DUSU President and other students.
Khatri’s action followed an incident earlier this week in which a video surfaced online showing the principal of Delhi University’s Laxmibai College applying cow manure to the walls of classrooms.

Principal Pratyush Vatsala is seen in the video painting the walls with staff assistance and claiming that classrooms in C Block were being cooled using indigenous techniques. Questions concerning the behavior of the college administration were raised by the now-viral film, which caused bewilderment and fury within the university.
Pratyush Vatsala, the principal, said that the act was a component of a faculty member’s ongoing research project. “Study of Heat Stress Control by Using Traditional Indian Knowledge” is the title of the ongoing project, she stated.
