Haryana Villages Face Digital Divide, Hindering DU Dreams

While Delhi University (DU) celebrates increased diversity through its online admission process, a significant challenge remains: bridging the digital divide for aspiring students in Haryana’s villages.

Digital Barriers Limit Access to Higher Education

The shift to online applications has inadvertently created a barrier for students in rural Haryana, where limited internet access and digital literacy hinder their ability to navigate the process effectively. This digital disparity threatens to exclude talented students from pursuing higher education at DU, impacting the university’s diversity goals.

Bridging the Gap: Addressing the Digital Divide

Acknowledging the issue, DU and related stakeholders are exploring solutions to ensure equal opportunities for all applicants. Potential solutions include expanding digital infrastructure in rural areas, providing digital literacy training, and offering offline application support.
