Some Delhi University institutions have set rules for the live telecast of the varsity’s centenary festivities, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend, including no black clothes, mandatory attendance, and class suspension from 10 am to 12 pm.
On June 30, Modi will be the chief guest at the Delhi University’s (DU) centenary celebration’s closing ceremony.
Students and teachers at Hindu College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Zakir Husain Delhi College are required to watch the event’s live telecast.
Meenu Srivastava, the instructor in charge at Hindu College, outlined seven rules in a notice that was published on Wednesday. She also mentioned that students would receive five attendance points for watching the live stream.
“During the live streaming of the event, all students must be present. The entrance to the college should be completed by the start of the first period, which is between 8:50 and 9 am, in order to prevent any traffic backups or disruptions later on the DU campus, according to the rules.
“You must have your I-card with you. That day, no black dresses are permitted. They stated that attendance was required of all students and that they would receive five attendance credits for watching the live stream.
Anju Srivastava, the principal of Hindu College, responded that no such notification had been given by the administration when asked about it.
Apparently, there has been some misrepresentation. The college has not published this message. I don’t know,” she admitted to PTI. She didn’t dispute the notice’s falsity, though.
“I have sent letters to all of the professors and students notifying them of the live broadcast and pleading with them to watch it. No one is required to attend, Srivastava continued.
“On this occasion, all teachers with their students and non-teaching staff must attend the live web telecast program in the college,” Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College stated in a notice. It stated that the institution would receive a thorough report.
The Zakir Hussain Delhi College issued an order stating that all staff members, excluding newly appointed teachers, who are physically present at the multipurpose hall, University of Delhi, are mandated to remain present in the college library to watch the valedictory function of the centenary celebrations.
PTI contacted the presidents of numerous other varsity colleges. They insisted that there was no attendance for the event and that they had merely “requested” that the staff and students come.
The management of Delhi University further stressed that attendance was not required; noting that a live broadcast had been planned so that those who could not attend may still participate.
According to Registrar Vikas Gupta, there is no order about required attendance from the university. Since all students are unable to attend, we have informed the colleges that we will be broadcasting the event live. The plans have been made by the colleges. We haven’t mandated attendance, he said to PTI.
