A handful of students from almost every college of the DU were present to represent their respective college. The seminar started with an introduction of the people presiding the event followed by an informatory speech by the VC in which he familiarised the students with the recent developments in the university policies which have been introduced to benefit the students. He started by announcing an exchange program for post grads with Australia. The VC further said that Free education, metro and DTC ride will be provided to Special case students. A University festival by the name of Antardhwani will be held each year where every college will have one stall. The best girls' soccer team will be sent to the best college in New Zealand to play with their team. One laptop and one LCD will be installed in every class of every college. The last date for submission of the examination form has been postponed to September 30,2012. Students can take up innovation projects out of which a selected few will be funded by the University. Deans will be appointed for undergraduate courses as well. The result of the semester examinations will be announced within three weeks from the date of the last exam. The speech was followed by a question and answer round where students cited various problems dealt by them and lack of certain facilities such as inadequate hostel facilities and lack of braille libraries. To this, the VC responded that construction of hostels at various places in the South Campus is already taking place and braille libraries and audio books will soon be made available for visually impaired students. Through this seminar the students became aware of the efforts which the University authorities are making to provide their students with a better quality education and an all round development at DU. With this, the seminar ended on a very promising note.
