Differently-abled students fight Delhi University apathy

Wed, 07/18/2012 - 17:19 -- admin

Around 800 differently-abled students of Delhi University are feeling forlorn and forsaken. Since early March, when a girl student with loco-motor disability, was hit by a speeding bike while crossing the road near the central library in North Campus, a feeling of willful neglect by the university authorities has grown among these students.
 
Several other grievances, lying dormant so far, have surfaced after the accident. These include the inability of the visually-impaired to borrow books from libraries as they are not suitably equipped, apathy of university's Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC), which is mandated to try and create a level playing field for students such as these, and a general feeling that there's no one to take care of the special needs
