Lack of infrastructure in South Campus makes these students dependentNEW DELHI: Shorya Sood is a 21-year-old student completing his masters in political science from Delhi University. He has cerebral palsy, making him 80% disabled and wheelchair-bound. This means, if he has to go up a flight of stairs or to the classrooms, his friends have to pick him up, along with his bulky wheelchair. Lack of accessibility, he claims, is a problem for disabled students like him on South Campus, who are being forced to depend on others for mobility. Sood stays in Dwarka and it takes him 45 minutes to reach his class on the campus. He did his undergraduation from DU and started his master's in September. "I use the metro to commute without any assistance from anybody, all the way to the university. But once I get there, I need my friends to take me to my classes," said the student. "There are times when the classes get delayed or cancelled. When that happens, everybody either goes to the canteen or the library. But I am trapped. We really need a ramp here for wheelchair-bound students," he said. Source: The Times of India Daily Oct 26, 2017 |
