New Delhi: The Delhi University is considering to name its upcoming college at Fatehpur Beri after the first woman chief minister of Delhi Sushma Swaraj, officials said on Saturday. The name of the college will be finalised by the Academic Council and the Executive Council of the university.
'A couple of other names have also been proposed along with Swaraj. The names of Swami Vivekananda and Veer Savarkar are also under consideration,' an official said. According to DU Registrar, Vikas Gupta, a facilitation centre and a proposed college, the name of which is yet to be finalised, is going to be built at Bhatti Kalan Gaon in Fatehpur Beri as part of the university's centenary year.
'The name of the college will be finalised by the Academic Council and Executive Council of the varsity. The name of former CM is also under consideration,' he said. Gupta said it is not yet final whether the upcoming college will be co-ed or a women's college. Since it's a far-flung area, there might be fewer women takers, according to an official.
