Delhi University Considers Renaming Dyal Singh Evening College to Dyal Singh Majithia College
The University of Delhi is considering renaming Dyal Singh Evening College to Dyal Singh Majithia College, preserving the legacy of its founder, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. This proposal follows protests from college staff against removing 'Dyal Singh' from the name, initially suggested to be changed to Banda Singh Bahadur College. The college governing body approved both names and sent them for finalization. Shiromani Akali Dal leader Naresh Gujral welcomed the move, urging retention of the founder's name to honor his contributions.
