Petition to Establish the Saveetha Islamic Society (SIS)
We, the undersigned students of Saveetha University, respectfully request the formation of a student-led organization: the Saveetha Islamic Society (SIS). The purpose of this society is to support Muslim students in fulfilling their religious obligations and to ensure that the campus environment accommodates and respects Islamic practices in accordance with constitutionally guaranteed rights.
The objectives of the Saveetha Islamic Society are:
1. To provide male and female students with dedicated and dignified spaces for the five daily prayers, including the Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer, in coordination with university administration.
2. To advocate for the religious rights of Muslim students, including the right of male students to keep a beard in accordance with Islamic teachings, and the right of female students to wear the hijab and niqab without fear of discrimination, harassment, or academic disadvantage.
By establishing SIS, we aim to ensure that both current and future Muslim students at Saveetha University can fulfill their obligations with peace of mind, dignity, and religious freedom, while contributing positively to the university community.
We humbly seek the administration’s support in formally recognizing the Saveetha Islamic Society and facilitating the accommodations necessary for its goals.
With gratitude and sincerity,
The Students of Saveetha University
