“We woke up at 4 am and prepared the posters. We have put up help desks in every college,” said the ABVP’s Ramjas College unit president Shivam Tiwari. “We decorated the colleges with flowers and rangoli as we wanted to extend a grand welcome to the freshers,” he said.

Members of Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (KYS) and the Students’ Federation of India were also seen distributing pamphlets at Vishwavidyalaya Metro station. “We are helping all the freshers. Our volunteers are guiding them if they face any problem,” said KYS activist Ambuj.

Congress-affiliated National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) welcomed the new students with flowers and chocolates. “Students should not feel they are coming to an alien environment. Delhi University is a big family and we, as seniors, welcomed all the first-year students,” said NSUI leader Lokesh Chugh.

The freshers were also full of praise for the volunteers who “went out of their way to help them”. “Seniors and volunteers were very supportive. We feel at home. They have provided us with every information,” said Ritika, a first-year student at Daulat Ram College. Many colleges held orientation programmes to apprise the new students about the syllabi, societies and the committees.
