Miranda House, all girls college of Delhi University, has banned its students from taking selfies and combing their hairs inside the college. This is one of a hilarious ban any college of Delhi University has ever faced.
Delhi University has known for the openness and the freedom its students has over the issues and in the college. This is one of the major reasons why students chose Delhi University over any other college.
Interestingly, Miranda House administration gave a notice to 1200 distance learning students, who attends college on weekends and other public holidays, stating that who so ever is found wasting time in clicking pictures and selfies would be suspended for a day by the administration.
The KYS (Krantikari Yuva Sangathan) has taken this matter seriously and is opposing the issue ever since. They were approached by the girls of School of Open Learning and they registered a complaint with The Delhi Commission for Women, post which a notice has been issued by the college.
"Most of the girls spend time taking selfies and combing their hair in the class, by which the teachers are not able to teach properly in the class. Also, students stand in corridors doing nothing but taking time for themselves and combing hair." said philosophy hons second-year student.
The Delhi Commission for Women has issued a notice terming the act of college as 'misogynistic'. The notice comes after several girls from the college approached the commission over the selfie ban. "We have asked for a point-wise reply from the college on students' complaint within several days," a DCW senior official said.
