According to a report, Delhi University Vice-Chancellor, VC Yogesh Singh has informed that the University will open in a few days and they will formulate a strategy in this regard. Other institutes like Jamia Millia Islamia have however said that they would wait for UGC guidelines and then decide on reopening.
The same report mentions more details on DU reopening. VC Yogesh Singh has said, “If the DDMA allows 100 per cent seating capacity, we will definitely reopen the campus. But we will give a few days’ time to our students, say 10 days, for returning to campus since a majority of students are from other states. We will formulate our own strategy.”
DU reopening would happen in a somewhat phased manner. Even if offline lectures resume, arrangements have to be made to reopen hostels as well as many students in Delhi University are not from the Capital.
If Delhi University decides to reopen hostels as well, separate SOPs are likely to be framed to accommodate students while following COVID-19 safety protocols. While the plan for DU Reopening seems to be formulating, more would be known in the coming days.
