DU students’ problems highlighted at rallies in North, South campuses
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) organised a ‘Chhatra Garjana Rally’ on Wednesday at the North and South Campuses of Delhi University, with hundreds of students participating. The rally aimed to bring attention to a range of pressing concerns faced by students and called for immediate action from the university administration.
Among the key problems raised during the rally were demands for the implementation of the “One Course-One Fee” policy, centralised hostel allocation forms, scholarships for SC/ST/OBC students, a university-level placement cell, concessional metro passes for students, the introduction of NCC for girls in colleges and the availability of psychologists and gynaecologists in all colleges.
“The ‘Chhatra Garjana Rally’ stands as a unified voice, amplifying the concerns of students across every college in Delhi University. Despite its esteemed reputation, DU grapples with infrastructure deficiencies, fee disparities and concerns over women’s safety,” said Harsh Attri, ABVP Delhi state secretary. He urged the university administration to take swift action for the “holistic development” of students.
The rally received an overwhelming response, reflecting both the severity of the problems students face and their confidence in ABVP’s leadership. “ABVP-led DUSU has consistently strived to resolve students’ issues, and we’ve made significant progress over the years,” said ABVP national secretary Shivangi Kharwal. She emphasised that ABVP would continue to push the administration to meet global education standards and ensure a secure campus for women.
