VARANASI: Opposing a proposal to make Reliance Industries executive director Nita Ambani a visiting professor, students staged a demonstration at Banaras Hindu University on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Prof Nidhi Sharma, coordinator of the Centre for Women’s Studies and Development, said the proposal to make Nita Ambani a visiting professor has been sent to the authorities.
