Human Resource and Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani said today that she was amused by National Students Union of India (NSUI) protesting for the removal of Four Year University Program (FYUP) from Delhi University (DU), as it was the Congress government that brought this particular program into force.
Irani said "Time-and-again I have re-iterated this issue that the DU is an autonomous institution, hence for me to transgress into their territory would not be advisable."
She said that this is an issue that was brought to her notice by elected representatives of DUSU and DUTA.
Irani said "I have taken a note of their plight and the challenges that the teachers and the students are facing."
The NSUI members had earlier today staged a protest regarding this issue in front of Irani's residence.
