Seven out of the 10 women chosen through an essay contest to be one-day president of the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU), tell us what’s on their agenda.
A viral video shows two Delhi University girls fighting over their preferred presidential candidate. The incident reportedly occurred in Moti Lal Nehru College.
Almost four years of wait and 42% voter turnout later, Delhi University Students’ Union was formed on September 23 amid much pomp and cheer in North Campus.
The Department of Buddhist Studies at Delhi University has become a hub for student politics, with many winners of student union elections studying there. This trend has continued despite the department not being a top choice for courses, suggesting that students have more time for politics due to its less demanding nature. However, officials and student outfits claim that the choice of course does not directly reflect an interest in politics. The department offers multidisciplinary courses and is popular among foreign students, although job prospects may not be high.
