New Delhi: The University of Delhi (DU) is set to offer a full fee waiver to students who lost one or both parents to the COVID-19 infection, said the officials on Friday.
The varsity has written to its colleges to hold a survey and prepare a list of such students.
“The Delhi University has written to its colleges to conduct a survey of students who have lost their parents due to coronavirus. We have sought a report in the matter by Monday,” Dean of Colleges, Balaram Pani was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
The fee waiver will be 100 per cent. This will be applicable for students who have lost either of their parents or both to the deadly virus in more than a year. They won’t even have to pay the examination fees.
“At the varsity level, we know about the staffers whose wards are studying here and they would be given a fee waiver. At the college level, the college governing bodies will have to implement it. They will have to ask for certain documents which would prove it,” an official wishing to remain anonymous told the news agency.
