SOL to implement sports policy from this session
N ew Delhi: Delhi University's School of Open Learning (SOL) is set to implement its new sports policy for undergraduate and postgraduate admissions from this academic session. Under this policy, SOL will categorise students into three tiers based on the level of sports events. Students who participated in the Olympic, Asian, or Commonwealth Games will receive a full fee waiver. Additionally, students who participated in national and zonal-level games will also get a 75% fee waiver. Students in the third tier (likely zonal or lower-level events) may get benefits depending on performance. In addition to fee concessions, SOL will also provide special rewards to students who win medals in these competitions. Payal Mago, director of the campus of open learning, stated that this initiative is an opportunity for learners to pursue their dreams and contribute to their country's success in the sports arena. "It will help students pursue sports alongside their studies and will help promote sports culture," she added. Until now, there was no such sports policy in place for SOL students. "With this policy, deserving sportspersons will receive due recognition, encouragement, and support. This move will benefit thousands of students," an official said. At present, over 35% of SOL students come from underprivileged backgrounds. Officials stated that this initiative will provide a valuable opportunity for both education and sports for such students. "Sports play a crucial role in society, contributing not only to physical health but also to mental and psychological well-being. However, many students passionate about sports often face the difficult choice of prioritising their athletic careers over their academic ones. SOL seeks to address this issue by offering an opportunity for students to pursue their education while also striving for success in sports," said the official.
