After clamping down of several restaurants in North Campus last year, it’s a wave of relief that a new set of joints have come up for students to indulge in. If you’re looking for interesting, new cuisines or good ol’ desi khaana in new places, North Campus has quite a few options for you!

What makes it to our Little Black Book? Here’s our shortlist of new places for foodies in North Campus.

Indian karchi meets a Chinese wok, and what we get is appetizing renditions of both the cuisines! In five months, the new branch of Momo’s point in GTB Nagar has already found a loyal following. Besides momos and North Indian delights, the restaurant has a good ‘Chinese Thali’. The warm and friendly ambience of the place adds to the food experience.

The small join tucked away in the middle of Hudson lane is about a year old, but is still new and unexplored. This cozy café promises good service, amiable staff, and an array of innovative burgers. When we’re bored of KFC and McDonald’s, and are looking for a fast food joint, Kori’s a go-to spot. Besides the ‘Boss Burger’ we quite liked the Chicken Mayo rice here as well.

Where | 1598, Outram Line, Kingsway Camp, GTB Nagar

Price | INR 300 for two {approx.}

Its wooden bookshelves, coupled with decked walls makes it an attractive café at the first sight! We’ve tried the pasta and panner tikka sandwich both of which were devoured, happily, by us.  We found it to be a value for money cafe, which offers great food in greater quantity.

All India Students’ Association (AISA) will hold a referendum on the new FYUP on 22nd of August.

The number of protests has been increasing with the introduction of the FYUP into the scene and teachers as well as students have been remonstrating from the very inception. After the hot off press demurral by AISA at north campus, they have resolved to hold a referendum on 22nd August, Thursday. The big idea behind this mandate is to know what exactly students think of the new programme.

Harshvardhan, Secretary of Delhi University AISA, acquainted, “It’s the first time in Delhi University that such a referendum is coming into being. Our proposition behind this poll is to reach out to maximum people in the university and voice out their opinion in this regard”.  With such an episode, AISA is raising concern over the syllabus of many subjects under FYUP and students’ reaction over the matter. “We are trying to have a desk for casting votes at many spots including North campus colleges and some South campus colleges too.”  added Harshvardhan.

The balloters will counter ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on voting chits, which will be provided by the AISA. The result and harvest of the poll will be acknowledged to Dinesh Singh, Delhi University Vice-Chancellor. Ramjas College, Kirori Mal College, Hans Raj, Hindu and Miranda House are some of the colleges of North and Deshbandhu College, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College, Ramjas college and Sri Venkateswara College are some of the South Campus colleges where the party is planning to put up the poll booths, with a total of 16-17 colleges in focus.

For the purpose of monitoring the mandate in colleges, committees will be made comprising of the students (mainly I year students) and some teachers of their respective colleges.

Along with the referendum, the party is conducting a signature campaign with a target of collecting over 10,000 signatures. A hard copy of these signatures will be submitted to the President of India and other appropriate authorities. Under this campaign, the party is getting sound response and has already been aggregated over 2000 signatures.
