DU students to switch sides to the admin in unique programme

Updated on: Thursday, February 09, 2012

Delhi University students will now have a unique opportunity to witness first-hand the daily intricacies of running the varsity administration through an interesting internship programme at none other than the Vice Chancellor's office.

The University has for the first time initiated a programme that invites students to be a part of the administration and even offer suggestions that may turn out to be valuable.

The students will not only get to understand the role of the Vice Chancellor's office in day-to-day functioning of their varsity but also get to assist his team in their affairs.

"People often complain about things that do not happen. Through this programme we wanted students to know more about how the University functions and get involved in the administration even if it is for a brief time," said Dean Students Welfare J M Khurana.

He said during their direct association with the Vice Chancellor's office, the students will be more than welcome to offer their suggestions to improve things.

"Since they are young and fresh minds, they might come up with valuable suggestions. They may understand our side of things and may help us understand the students perspective and what better they want from the University," Khurana said.

The programme will initially invite students who register for a day, and the duration of their association may be increased during the summer vacation.

During their internship with the VC's office, the students will interact with visitors, and assisting them. They will also be provided an opportunity to explore and understand the history of the VC office complex.
