Amid the Delhi University’s (DU) vice-chancellor stating the varsity will decide on the reopening of colleges post-Diwali, students have taken to social media platforms to demand the reopening of the colleges. With the hashtags #reopenDU and#GiveOurCampusBack, the students said they want their campuses back and demanded offline classes.
This comes after the Delhi government has already reopened schools for classes 9 to 12 from September 1 and has allowed the reopening of the remaining classes will reopen on November 1, however, it is yet to issue any guidelines regarding the reopening of college campuses.

“Let the government issue something in black and white. Then we will decide,” university Registrar Vikas Gupta had told PTI. While VC Singh had said “we will decide after Diwali. There is a fear that Covid might recur. If the situation remains fine, we will thin.”
The students have meanwhile pointed that online classes are don’t have the impact that offline classes do and besides if schools can reopen in the capital then why not colleges.
Schools are reopening from 1st Nov for all classes. What about colleges? Kab tak intezaar karein hum? Students are even doing hunger strikes…what else do you want them to do?
