'A- Awas, B- Bhagidari, V- Vishwas, P-Parinaam' at the heart

of ABVP’s vision; safe accommodation, women’s safety, student participation,

academic reforms and career opportunities among key priorities

Lucknow, 13 Sept (HS): The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi

Parishad (ABVP) on Sunday released its manifesto for the Delhi University

Students’ Union (DUSU) elections, placing student welfare, safety,

participation and academic outcomes at the centre of its vision for Delhi

University. Built around the four pillars of ‘A–Awas, B–Bhagidari, V–Vishwas,

P–Parinaam’, the manifesto focuses on safe and affordable student

accommodation, women’s safety, greater student participation in university

decision-making, academic reforms and expanded career opportunities. ABVP’s

panel comprises Yash Dabas for President, Ishu Maurya for Vice President, Riya

Chhawdi for Secretary and Lakshya Raj Singh for Joint Secretary. The panel’s

voting sequence is 7-3-3-3. ABVP karyakartas and candidates are reaching out to

students across colleges, hostels and PG accommodations, engaging with them on

issues concerning their academic life, safety, accommodation and future

opportunities.

Safe student accommodation remains a key focus of the

manifesto, particularly in the wake of the Satya Niketan incident. ABVP has

proposed the construction of new hostels, adequate hostel facilities for women

students, a dedicated student accommodation cell and helpline, safety audits of

PGs and hostels, strict implementation of fire-safety norms, and better access

to basic facilities such as cleanliness, drinking water and internet

connectivity. On women’s safety, the manifesto proposes stronger security

patrols, pink booths, adequate women security personnel, improved lighting,

common rooms for women students, sanitary napkin vending machines,

gynaecologists at health centres and self-defence training. It also calls for

stronger grievance redressal mechanisms, effective Internal Complaints

Committees and legal assistance, along with dedicated support for students with

disabilities, transgender students and students from the Northeast, as well as

accessible mental health counselling and awareness services. The manifesto also

places a strong emphasis on improving the academic experience at Delhi University.

ABVP has called for timely and transparent examination results, supplementary

examinations, access to evaluated answer scripts, greater transparency in

internal assessment, student-friendly examination arrangements and timely

issuance of degrees. To strengthen students’ transition from education to

employment, the manifesto proposes greater opportunities through job fairs,

industry and research-institution partnerships, training and internships, AI

and digital-skills programmes, innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives.

Our manifesto reflects the issues that directly affect

students’ present and future: Yash Dabas

ABVP’s presidential candidate Yash Dabas said, The

four pillars of our manifesto A-Awas, B-Bhagidari, V-Vishwas and P-Parinaam

represent the issues that directly affect students’ lives and aspirations.

While other organisations are caught up in internal differences and infighting,

ABVP's candidates are united and focused on taking up the concerns of students.

Whether it is safe accommodation, women’s safety, student participation in

university decision-making, academic reforms or career opportunities, our

priority is to work on issues that have a direct bearing on students’ present

and future. ABVP has consistently raised the issue of safe student

accommodation after the Satya Niketan incident, and we will continue to pursue

it with determination. With the support and trust of students, we appeal to

them to vote for the complete ABVP panel on 7-3-3-3 and give us a 4-0 victory

in DUSU.

Students must have a meaningful voice in decisions

concerning the university: Ishu Maurya

ABVP’s Vice Presidential candidate Ishu Maurya said,

Students are the primary stakeholders of the university, and their voices

must have a meaningful place in decisions that affect them. We will work

towards stronger student representation, accessible campuses for students with

disabilities, equal opportunities and greater participation in academic and

co-curricular activities. Our focus will be on creating mechanisms where

students can raise their concerns and see effective action on them.

Every woman student deserves a safe and dignified campus

environment: Riya Chhawdi

ABVP’s Secretary candidate Riya Chhawdi said, Women’s

safety is fundamental to creating a genuinely student-friendly university.

Better lighting, security patrols, pink booths, common rooms, sanitary napkin

facilities and the availability of gynaecologists at health centres are

important steps towards ensuring a safer campus. At the same time, grievance

redressal mechanisms must be responsive and effective, so that every woman

student can pursue her education and ambitions with confidence and without

fear.

Students deserve timely results and stronger pathways to

their future: Lakshya Raj Singh

ABVP’s Joint Secretary candidate Lakshyaraj Singh said,

A student’s hard work should be reflected in timely results and

meaningful opportunities for the future. We will work for a more transparent

and student-friendly examination system while expanding opportunities for

employment, training, internships, digital skills and entrepreneurship. Our

objective is to ensure that students not only receive a better academic

experience but are also better prepared for the opportunities ahead.

Students' response gives us confidence of a clean sweep:

Sarthak Sharma - ABVP Delhi State Secretary Sarthak Sharma said, ABVP is

conducting a positive and issue-based campaign across Delhi University and

engaging directly with students on their concerns. Our campaign is focused on

solutions and on building a better university experience for every student. The

enthusiasm and support we are receiving from students across campuses gives us

confidence that the mandate will be in ABVP’s favour. We are confident that

students will give ABVP a clean sweep in the DUSU elections.
