The Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (KYS) protested outside the Vice Chancellor’s office of Delhi University, where a joint meeting of the Academic Council and Executive Council of the university was called. In this meeting, the issue of reduction in funding to 12 colleges was discussed. The students demanded 85 percent reservation for students of Delhi government schools in these 12 colleges, which are fully funded by the state government.
As per the Shri Prakash Singh Committee constituted by the Executive Council of Delhi University in December 2023, 12 colleges were established specifically to meet the needs of Delhi students and hence they are 100 per cent funded by the Delhi Government. These 12 colleges are being run with the money of the taxpayers of Delhi. We demand that these Delhi University colleges meet the educational needs of Delhi Government school students.
Number of seats should be increased
The students have demanded that 85 per cent of the seats in the 12 colleges should be reserved for Delhi government school students. They have also demanded that evening classes should be started in all Delhi government-funded colleges and the total number of seats in Delhi University should be increased.
