The Delhi University Fund Development Committee was earlier formed in December 2021 to manage and keep a tab on the university's finances and funds allocations. The committee’s goal is to take necessary measures related to funds and development on campus.
Soon after its formation, the DU Development Fund Committee increased the annual university development charges per student by 50%. The proposal was approved by the executive council during a meeting held on December 17, 2021, in view of a reduction in capital grants by UGC.
Following the approval, the DU Development Fee has now been increased to INR 900 per student annually from earlier INR 600 per student charges. The revised fee will be included in the overall DU Courses from the academic session 2022.
