Salient Points of ABVP Manifesto for DUSU Elections 2010

1. 
   Stop Commercialization of Education

• Students of Delhi who want to pursue professional and vocational courses ( to ensure job after completion of course) are left with empty hands since presence of such courses is negligible in Colleges of DU. In wake of this students are opting for private institutes  and colleges of Noida, Faridabad and Gurgaon which is certainly not a healthy trend.
• ABVP strongly believes that this is sheer indirect commercialization of education and this trend should stop immediately. ABVP led Union would demand University administration to open more and more new professional courses like Animation, Retail management, Public Relations, Travel and Tourism, Performing Arts, Information Technology, Bio Technology, Business and Economics etc. with a lower fee structure.

2. East and West Campus

• We demand that facilities provided by all the colleges should be uniform and administration should be decentralized. So we would struggle for the establishment of East and West Campuses and also demand for a Law Faculty at the East campus would be placed.

3. Transportation

• ABVP led Union would fight for exclusive coaches for female students in every Metro train on the lines of the practice followed by Mumbai local trains.

• We would fight for getting concessions and student’s pass in Delhi Metro with Metro feeder buses across the campuses. We would continue our struggle to increase the services of DTC U-Special buses.
• We would also struggle to provide student’s pass in STA sponsored Blue Line buses and acknowledge student’s pass in all the public transportations in the NCR as well as better connectivity of NCR with the different colleges of Delhi University.
• We would try to provide the shuttle buses between North and South Campuses.

4. Hostel Facility

• Common Wealth Game has stolen roof of common students. There are no rooms for students in surrounding areas of Delhi University. ABVP would meet University administration in 24 hours of resuming the office and pressurize administration to come up with arrangement for at least new students.
• We would continue with our struggle to provide more hostel facilities to the students especially for girls, students from North-East and the deprived sections of the society.

5. Scholarship

• We would work for the increment in scholarships and demand to link scholarship with price index.
• We would also struggle for an increase in the number Rajiv Gandhi Fellowships and also scholarships to all SC/ST/PH students.
• Semester System: ABVP thinks that there should be consensus among University administration, teachers and student community on Semester system. Then only Semester system should be implemented.

6. Secure and Fear-Free Campus

• We would continue with our demand to make North Campus a closed and compact campus.
• To make girl students more self confident we would organise self-defense Training Camps in various colleges and university campus.

7. Open New Colleges

• Since last 12 years the parent party of NSUI is running the government of city-state of Delhi but it is very much evident that no new degree colleges were opened in these years, though, population of Delhi has increased by lakhs in last years.
