The All India Students' Association (AISA) today celebrated the rollback of the controversial four year undergraduate programme (FYUP) of the Delhi University, announced by the varsity's Vice-Chancellor Dinesh Singh earlier in the day.
AISA members took out a victory march from the Arts Faculty to the Vice-Chancellor's residence in the University's campus and raised slogans demanding removal of Singh.
"We are happy with FYUP being scrapped. University administration should immediately start admission process under the three-year undergraduate programme," DU's AISA president Rahul Mishra said.
Ending the four-day deadlock over admission to the FYUP, Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh relented under UGC's pressure and scrapped the course today.
"Scrapping FYUP is the result of the efforts of students and teachers who had been protesting against it for over a year. Our next demand is that VC should be removed from his post as due to 'his drama', thousands of students had to suffer a lot of problems," he said.
