DUTA GBM Resolves to Fight Pitched Battle to Get FYUP Rolled Back (Read full resolution) In a well-attended General Body Meeting of the DUTA, teachers of Delhi University unanimously resolved to fight a pitched battle to get the FYUP rolled back. The arrogance of the VC after being awarded the Padma Shri was reflected in the denial of a venue for the DUTA GBM. The DUTA decided to hold the GBM outside the Vice Chancellor’s office on the main University gate. Teachers responded energetically to the DUTA’s call and assembled in large numbers.

It was also pointed out that the Central Gove

Press Release, 27.1.2014

DUTA criticises award of Padma Shri to DU VC The award of Padma Shri to Prof. Dinesh Singh, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi, should be a cause of serious alarm for the people of this country. It exposes the Government's double-speak on Higher Education. This award has been bestowed on Prof. Dinesh Singh at a time when drastic academic restructuring in conflict with National Policy (10+2+3) and of a highly destructive nature (the Four Year Undergraduate Programme – FYUP) have been rushed through in disregard of a wide spectrum of criticism raised by teachers and students of the University, by reputed intellectuals of the country, by several political leaders and by a cross-section of the media. It has been awarded, when students admitted to the FYUP have expressed their deep dismay at the substandard curricula and the waste of one year . Prof. Dinesh Singh is also responsible for bulldozing a series of decisions in quick time without allowing the high
