ABVP manifesto proposes east, west DU campus

New Delhi: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) released its manifesto on Saturday for the Delhi University students' union polls and promised a five-point model that revolves around campus, course, admission, examination and results.

The RSS-affiliated outfit also released a separate manifesto for female students, promising to organise 'Mission Sahasi (courage) 2.0' and reach 20,000 female students to train them in self-defence techniques under the initiative.

The five Ps are 'parisar' (campus), 'pathyakram' (course), 'pravesh' (admission), 'pareeksha' (examination) and 'parinam' (result).

Under its plan for courses, the ABVP envisaged that the curriculum should be developed following three Rs –review, rational debate and representation. "The academic council of DU must have student representatives," it said. "There should be remedial classes for SC/ST students and English classes for needy students to make them more employable and confident."

Some of the demands that the party has put forth under the campus model are science laboratories in all the colleges with latest equipments, good sanitation, clean and green campus and new hostels.

It also proposed the establishment of east and west campus on the lines of the existing north and south campuses.
