ABVP manifesto vows to raise issues of scholarships, fee hikes, new hostels

The ABVP launched its manifesto for the upcoming Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) election on Monday, promising to work for more scholarships for the marginalised, including transgenders, fairness in education costs, and affordable metro travel for students.
The student group pitched for the implementation of dedicated university special buses and the construction of new hostels and girls’ hostels in every college.
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) also promised to introduce an ‘Earn While Learn’ policy to provide students with opportunities to earn while pursuing their education.
“Previous ABVP-led DUSUs have diligently addressed student concerns. We are committed to addressing issues like fee hikes, expanding hostel infrastructure, and prioritising mental health,” ABVP’s presidential candidate, Tushar Dedha, said.
ABVP’s secretary candidate, Aprajita, said that the students’ group will also focus on special initiatives for female students like self-defence training, sanitary pad distribution via vending machines, pink booths near every hostel, the installation of CCTV cameras inside and outside college campuses, and gender sensitisation camps.
