In a statement, the university said the foundation stones for two "student facilitation centres" at Roshanpura village (Najafgarh) and Bawana in presence of Prof. Balaram Pani, Dean of Colleges, Prof. Suman Kundu, Director, South Delhi Campus, Vikas Gupta, Registrar, Shri Girish Ranjan, Finance Officer and Anupam Srivastava, Chief Engineer.
"These centres will facilitate students of rural and far off areas by providing them documents like marksheets, migration and other documents at their nearby locations as well as inquiry counters to guide them related to university matters. This will save time and energy of students by avoiding travel to North and South Campus of University.
This is the part of the “University at your door” initiative of the University of Delhi," the statement said. The facilitation Centres will be completed by this year-end having built-up area of 120 sqm each.
These centres will start functioning from January 2022 and the university is also planning to open college and academic departments at these university lands in future, it said. The names of these centres are yet to be decided. The academic council of the university, in its meeting held last month, had decided that the name of these colleges/centers may be given after the names of Sushma Swaraj, Swami Vivekananda, Veer Savarkar, Sardar Patel.
The Council also suggested the names of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Savitri Bai Phule, Arun Jaitley, Choudhary Brahm Prakash and CD Deshmukh. The Council had authorised the vice-chancellor to finalize the name.
