Disabled teachers, students move HC against 4-year degree

Wed, 05/08/2013 - 11:38 -- deepti.gahrotra

NEW DELHI: An organization of disabled teachers and students moved Delhi high court challenging Delhi University's decision to go ahead with its controversial four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP).  

The organization, Sambhavana, has filed a PIL in HC seeking a stay on the implementation of the four-year degree programme. The PIL argues that the present design of FYUP is discriminatory as it fails to take into consideration the aspirations and specific needs of students with blindness and other "print-disabilities".
