Another important expectation from students is regarding the up gradation the Library and Library Catalogue. Students have expressed that the Central Library located in North Campus has less seating space for students. The library also doesn’t have an updated catalogue of books and journals that are needed by students. DUSU can also work on this issue for them.
Safe Campus for Women
With Delhi being tagged as ‘unsafe for women’, female students from the campus also share the same sentiment. Women students from Delhi University expect the new DUSU panel to work towards ensuring a safe campus and secure environment for the female students. It is interesting to note that, after a gap for 11 years NSUI has fielded a female candidate for the top post of President of Delhi University Students’ Union.
Concession on Metro Travel
Another important demand from the students, especially from those who are travelling from off-campus location, has been concession in travel fares, especially Metro travel. Most of the students use Delhi Metro to commute to college for their classes. Therefore, students are hoping that DUSU representatives will be able to help mediate this important issue for them with DMRC.
Rights of Students
Among the more politically active students, the key demand from their new representatives is to uphold the rights of students. According to students, DUSU should work to upload rights of the students and help them get better education facilities and infrastructure on campus.
Sanket Thakur, a student of Ramjas College, said the union should work to uphold rights of the students and ensure improved infrastructure. "The students' union should talk about student rights and work towards ensuring a better infrastructure in the campus. It should also ensure that students get concessional Delhi Metro passes as the fares are exorbitant," he said.
