Inside the college libraries of Delhi University

By

Book Collection

Motilal Nehru College and Lady Shri Ram College have one of the largest book collection in colleges in the University with over 1 lakh books in each library. Hindu College, with one of the oldest college libraries of the University (est. 1899) has over one lakh books as well. [caption id="attachment_38259" align="aligncenter" width="295"]The library of Lady Shri Ram College. | Image Credits: Eeshani Kochhar The library of Lady Shri Ram College. | Image Credits: Eeshani Kochhar[/caption] Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies has a library much smaller in size with about 22 thousand books. SGND Khalsa College houses about 70 thousand A lot of colleges however, complain of academic books that are too old and could use some upgradation. Several colleges lack enough books to cater for certain courses. College of Vocational Studies for example, has only one bookshelf for students pursuing English Honours.

Disabled-friendly

Rajdhani College boasts of ‘a seperate corner’ for disabled students. Shri Ram College of Commerce has a ‘resource centre’ for visually challenged students while a lot of colleges of the University, including Lady Shri Ram College offer audio visual services.

Miranda House has no such lift despite having two floors of library. Lady Shri Ram College has a Braille printing machine with all library notices being printed in Braille. [gallery columns="2" link="none" ids="38260,38262"] St. Stephen’s College offers online assistance and JAWS (Job Access With Speech) enabled computers for the visually challenged.  

Online Assistance

St. Stephen’s College is a clear winner among Delhi University Colleges in providing online library facilities. Not only does the college have a seperate section of the website dedicated to library services but they also have a WebOPAC interface which anyone can use to browse through the books available in the library. DU Website also has a WebOPAC interface for its central libraries. Unfortunately, nearly all colleges don’t provide this facility. Some college websites fail to provide even the basic information about their libraries, including Moti Lal Nehru College’s website.

Seating Arrangements and entry

A lot of colleges including SGND Khalsa complained of lacking seating space for students. SSCBS Library only manages to seat not more than 30 students at a time. Colleges like Lady Irwin College which have relatively lesser number of students enrolled still have ample of seating space in their reading hall. [caption id="attachment_38266" align="aligncenter" width="504"]The SSCBS Library only manages to seat about 30 people in the reading room. | Image credits: Kartikeya Bhatotia for DU Beat The SSCBS Library only manages to seat about 30 people in the reading room. | Image credits: Kartikeya Bhatotia for DU Beat[/caption] Entry rules are pretty strict across the University college libraries. A lot of libraries require bags to be kept outside and some colleges like Jesus and Mary College refuse the entry of students if they are carrying any book which does not belong to the library.

DU students cycle to North Campus to support Odd-Even Formula

By
DU students cycle

Although we’re just over a week into the new year and the odd-even era, the online memes, political discussions, corny jokes regarding Mr. Kejriwal’s initiative have become an integral part of our everyday life since the initial announcement was made.

However, despite all the jokes and complaints the people of Delhi have shown remarkable cooperation with a surprisingly small list of violators on a particular day, an increase in those using public transport and people carpooling and cycling to work in order to help the Chief Minister improve Delhi’s alarmingly poor air quality.

It is with this aim that a group of students decided to cycle from their homes to Delhi University’s North Campus on the first of January 2016. Although, colleges were shut till the 4th these students decided to go for a trial run and vowed to cycle to college all year! One of the students from SRCC told a media correspondent that as a New Year Resolution he has decided to restrict the use of his vehicle to Sundays. Another student from Hindu College acknowledged the difficulties associated with the formula but went on to remind us that we have to make a start somewhere and that this is the time to do so.

Although results, in terms of air quality improvement are yet to show, there seems to be no shortage of support from Delhi’s residents. Students of both DU and JNU are actively participating in making the lives of commuters easier whether it be designing mobile applications or setting up kiosks to provide people with information and encourage them to cycle, carpool or use public transport.  With the fifteen-day trial period slowly coming to an end, the support of Delhi’s residents will be integral in determining whether or not the formula is here to stay.

Innovation Projects 2015-2016: Students of CVS assess upcoming tourist sites in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur

By
innovative projects by Vidhipssa Mohan

Project name: Assessment of emerging attractions in the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur).

Principal investigator: Dr. Kumar Ashutosh.

Co-investigators: Mr. Anand and Ms. Rekha.

Student Members: Ayesha, Harshit Shinghal, Ketan Bhatt, Megha Mittal, Kajol Chhabra, Hritik Kukreja, Simran Bajaj, Rohan Sharma, Kriti, Amal Augustine.

One of the 300 Innovation Projects for the session of 2015-2016 approved by University of Delhi is an assessment of emerging attractions in the Golden Triangle. The project, one of College of Vocational Studies’ multiple projects, aims at working towards the development of attractions in the Golden Triangle which consists of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Due to its immense significance in Indian tourism, there is a need to reassess and improve in this geographical area.


According to Ayesha Zia, a student involved with the project, “Lately there have been no modifications in the existing attractions of the Golden Triangle. Consequently, tourists are not inclined to visit the same place which has nothing more to offer. However, it is not like there are no upcoming attractions in the golden triangle, but due to lack of initiative, the area is not developing fast.”


Therefore, the project aims at revisiting, researching and re-creating aspects of the rich cultural heritage of this triangle. For instance, Ameer Fort’s empty Sheesh Mahal, Deewan-e-Aam and Deewan-e-Khaas will be added more life to by recreating the aura of the era through thrones, chairs and carpets of those times. In addition to creating a blueprint of that era, the team will also work on identifying and locating secondary attractions on the road for the tourists whilst their travel. They are also working on implementing the oft ignored UN code of ethics at various tourist spots. The innovation project team has teachers and students of various departments like tourism, economics and commerce working together.


This innovation project, in the words of Dr. Kumar Ashutosh, will come up with viable options to increase the value of the Golden Triangle. This will also identify how to give maximum satisfaction to the tourist visiting an important circuit of India. The plan of action has been articulated already. Infact, Ayesha Zia a student of Marketing and Management of Insurance is very excited about the project and has already initiated collecting the data on these three places. Students will also be making visits in person to identify some yet-unnoticed tourist treasures in the area.

If you or anyone you know is participating in an Innovation Project, drop us an e-mail and we’d love to feature it!

Amidst tight security provided by the Delhi Police, the season of campaigning finally came to an end as voting for the Delhi University Students’ Union concluded on Friday. The results of the elections will be declared on Saturday at noon.

The turnout was reported to be over 44% for morning colleges. The turnout for evening colleges will be confirmed later. Last year, the figure for morning colleges stood at 42.3%. Voting began at 8:30AM and went on till 12:30PM for morning colleges.

#Live: Voting has begun! Do go out and exercise your right and responsibility this year at the #DUSU #election 2015.By Shraman Ghosh for DU Beat

Posted by DU Beat on Thursday, 10 September 2015

Elections for college unions were also conducted on Friday. The results for the same were announced on the same day.

Major parties like ABVP, NSUI, CYSS and AISA halted campaigning on the 9th. AAP’s CYSS is the new entrant to DU’s politics this year. Last year, ABVP swept all 4 seats of the DUSU.

DUSU is one of the most influential students’ unions of the country; numerous past office-bearers, Arun Jaitley and Ajay Maken to name a few, have gone ahead to hold public offices in Central and State Governments.

FIRs filed, claim-game intensifies as DUSU elections inch closer

By

With the date of polling just 9 days away, the political arena of Delhi University is catching fire as contesting parties step up their campaign for DUSU elections. Parties including Chatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, National Students’ Union of India and All India Students’ Association are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of victory.

The week gone by had the Delhi Police register over twenty FIRs against various student parties for cases related to defacement of public property through promotional posters. Last week, we reported the move of the Chief Election Officer of DUSU elections, DS Rawat, to seek help from the Delhi Police in cracking down on defaulters of civic and election rules.

In another development, the launch of a University-special bus in the South Campus of DU took an ugly turn when CYSS and ABVP took to social media to claim the credit for the same. The bus was covered with posters of CYSS, one of which read, “Welcome freshers.” Saket Bahuguna, State Secretary of ABVP, referred to a meeting DUSU had had with the CM of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, earlier this year to demand similar amenities for DU students. He also went on to ask why action was not being taken by the police for the ‘act of defacing public property’.

The CEO of DUSU elections has also announced the availability of Delhi University Community Radio (DUCR) to candidates in order to promote paperless campaigning. Candidates will be allowed to record five-minute long speech which will be moderated and aired on the radio at 90.4Mhz.

The CEO also announced the doing away of allowing candidates to change their names by prefixing the letter ‘A ‘several times before their names. This practice enabled candidates to get their names enlisted higher on the EVM machines as names are placed in alphabetical order.  Last year, AISA had challenged the practice legally.

AISA organised a referendum dubbed as ‘Opinion Dhamaka’ in which 93% respondents reportedly voted against the Choice Based Credit System. Earlier, Students’ Federation of India conducted a similar referendum in which 92% respondents voted against CBCS.

On- campus placements begin in Delhi University

By

With the commencement of the new session, the final year conundrums are already catching pace for many students with early placement sessions in various Delhi University colleges.

While the first surge of placements has mostly been for Commerce students, other DU courses await to see which companies will come on campus this year. Colleges like Jesus and Mary College, Kirori Mal College, Hans Raj College and Indraprastha College for Women have already started playing hosts to recruiting companies.

Deloitte recently offered an average package of 4 lakhs to 26 B. Com. (Honours) final year students in the Auditing Department at Jesus and Mary College. In Kirori Mal College, a few students have been placed for a package close to 3.2 lakhs as Audit Associates with Global Talent Hub.

As Ernst and Young, Deloitte, McKinsey and Keppler have been organizing continuous Soft Skills Workshops in almost all DU colleges, Teach for India has also started holding orientations for its 2 year Fellowship in various colleges.

While IP College awaits placements by Ernst and Young for its students, Hans Raj College will soon host Bain and Company bringing an offer of 10 lakhs and Deloitte bringing an offer of 4.5 lakhs.

The early start of the placement season is keeping college Placement Cells on their toes. As the start of the session has begun with grand openings, one can only hope for better offers in the future.
