DU's Dyal Singh Evening College Staff Protest Proposed Renaming Plan

Staff members of Delhi University's Dyal Singh Evening College have renewed protests against plans to rename the institution after Sikh warrior Banda Singh Bahadur. The college's staff association submitted a memorandum demanding a meeting to discuss the proposal and a written assurance that the college's location will remain unchanged, citing a transfer order clause restricting name changes without relocation. University officials have not included the renaming issue in the upcoming executive committee meeting agenda. Previous renaming attempts date back to 2017.
