Valentine’s Day Notice By College Principal Goes Viral

A college located in Odisha, India recently made headlines for a circular that instructed female students to have boyfriends by Valentine's Day or face being banned from entering the campus. The notice, which was said to have been issued by SVM Autonomous College in Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, also stated that female students must provide proof of their relationship status with a recent photo.

The circular quickly went viral on social media and generated a significant amount of attention and outrage. However, it was soon revealed that the notice was fake and not issued by the college or its principal.

The college and its students have denied the authenticity of the notice and have stated that it is a fake document created by bad elements in an attempt to malign the name of the college. The college's principal also denied issuing such a notice and stated that the letterhead on which the notice was printed is fake, as it did not have the contact number of the college or the name in the correct order.

This incident highlights the importance of verifying the authenticity of information before sharing it on social media or other platforms. The fake notice not only caused unnecessary confusion and outrage, but also negatively impacted the reputation of the college and its students. Additionally, it is important to note that the content of the notice is highly problematic and promotes gender discrimination and misogyny.
