New Delhi: To oppose the proposed four-year graduate programme in Delhi university (DU), various students organisations have decided to hold protests in the national capital on Monday.
“This four-year programme is an anti-student educational reform that will adversely affect students coming from the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Castes (OBC), the physically-challenged and minority communities in many ways,” said a joint statement from Campus Front of India (CFI), Democratic Students’ Union (DSU) and Students Islamic Union (SIU) here Sunday.
“The central government is trying to experiment with Delhi University – the biggest university in the country. This experiment is being done to privatise education and make it inaccessible to the most deprived sections,” the statement said.
Noted jurist Rajinder Sachar and journalist Kuldeep Nayar have written to the prime minister seeking his intervention to postpone the decision. (IANS)
