DU to make toilets disabled-friendly

“In order to improve the accessibility of the differently-abled students in terms of facilities, the university will renovate the toilets at the various colleges,” the official said.

He further added that a committee, comprising twenty members, formed by the varsity for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, will monitor the work being done on this project.

“The university will also approach the relevant government departments with a request for the construction of accessible footpaths for differently-abled students within college campuses,” the official added.

Earlier, the university had undertaken a project to ensure that the campus infrastructure be made disabled-friendly.

“Ramps and other infrastructural facilities had been created for people with disabilities on campus,” the official said.
As per DU record, there are nearly 1250 students with disabilities enrolled in the university under various programmes.
