DU urges Centre to direct Delhi govt to initiate process of issuing EWS certificates

Delhi university has written to the Centre to direct the AAP government to initiate the process of issuing EWS certificates after several students raised the matter at the second 'open day' of the varsity on Monday.

The university organises 'open days' for parents and students every year to resolve their queries about filling up the online forms, the admission process and the criterion for admission in the varsity. The first 'open day' was held on May 31.

Several students, who had come to the varsity on the first 'open day, came back with similar queries and said their respective SDMs are still not aware about any EWS certificate they have to issue.

Officials from the varsity said that letters have been sent to the HRD Ministry and the Ministry Of Social Justice and Empowerment to direct the Delhi government to notify its SDMs to issue the certificates.

Rasal Singh, member of the DU's Academic Council Monday said, "DU has written letters to the HRD Ministry and Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment urging them to direct Delhi government to initiate the process of issuing certificates. This move (not issuing EWS certificates) of Delhi government is depriving students the benefits of the scheme."
