DU teachers give their suggestions for the BJP Election Manifesto of BJP

New Delhi,  Under the process of getting suggestions from the public for the Election Manifesto 2015, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Satish Upadhyay talked with the professors and college principals of DU. A delegation of about 300 professors, lecturers and college principals of DU met BJP Pradesh President Shri Upadhyay at the Party office and gave their suggestions. Prominent persons in the delegation included Dr. P.K. Chinda, Dr. Suman Sharma, Prof. Yamini Gupta and Dr. R.B. Solanki.

This interaction continued for about 2 hours and the teachers of various colleges gave their suggestions in which the prominent points are:-

• On the one hand many colleges in Delhi are only morning colleges and on the other hand there is lack of college infrastructure. In this situation the teachers suggested that all the colleges to be run in two shifts.
• University campus should be established in East and West Delhi on priority basis.
• Moral education, career counseling and education for nation building should be essential part of graduate degree course.
• There is only one college in the rural area of Delhi. One college each should be established in Narela, Najafgarh area on priority basis.
• Hostels should be constructed on the dormitory and kitchen basis for the Girl students coming from outside Delhi and single teachers.
• A digital library on a selected place in Delhi under DU should be developed so that international level information may be readily available.
• Colleges under DU should be allowed to get affiliation with foreign universities.

After discussion with the teachers in his thanks giving address Shri Satish Upadhyay said that BJP will study the suggestions from the teachers of DU seriously and include most of the suggestions in our Manifesto. Shri Upadhyay said that all the suggestions of the teachers are reasonable but personally I give my moral support to three suggestions at this forum. I am of the view that all the colleges should be run in two shifts so that all the eligible students get admission. After coming to power we shall start work for a college in rural Delhi within six months and the college will start functioning within the next two years. Besides this we shall give priority to the proposal of dormitory hostels in our Manifesto.

So far as moral education is concerned, BJP and ABVP have always been supporting it. Opening digital library and affiliation to foreign universities will be useful for the students. Proposal for establishment of university campus in East and West Delhi is reasonable but we require sufficient time for it.
