A PIl was filed in the Delhi High Court on Tuesday challenging the implementation of Delhi University’s proposed four-year undergraduate programme with multiple degree in its present form.
Filing the PIl, Sambhavana, an NGO, through counsel Pankaj Sinha, said “If the four-year undergraduate programme with multiple degree is introduced in present form, the student with vision impairment will suffer irreparable loss as they shall not be able to participate in the main stream education system.” The petition is listed for hearing before the Bench of Chief Justice D Murugesan and Justice Jayant Nath.
The plea said, “Students with visual impairment are purely exempted from studying Science and Math’s after Class VIII in same cases and after Class X in most of the cases. Such students shall not be able to meet the requirements of the foundation course in the first-year of the four-year undergraduate programme.”
