Delhi University Rocked by ABVP’s “Chhatra Garjana”: Demands for Reform Echo Across Campus
Thousands of students, mobilised by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), converged at Delhi University on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, for a powerful demonstration dubbed “Chhatra Garjana” (Students’ Roar). The rally underscored widespread student discontent.
The ABVP’s demands were multifaceted, focusing on critical areas needing urgent attention. These included improved accessibility of the university portal, streamlined scholarship processes, enhanced mental health support services, the establishment of a robust placement cell, and an overall upgrade of campus facilities.
The sheer scale of the rally highlighted the depth of student frustration with the current state of affairs at the prestigious institution. Organisers claimed participation in the thousands, reflecting a significant segment of the student body.
The university administration has yet to officially respond to the ABVP’s demands. However, the “Chhatra Garjana” rally undoubtedly served as a potent wake-up call, forcing the authorities to seriously consider the pressing needs of Delhi University students. The success of the protest raises questions about the effectiveness of current university policies and their alignment with the needs of the student community. This event sets a significant precedent for future student activism and advocacy within the university system.
