We would like DIT University and IMS Unison’s  Administration to at least consider providing Online Mode in college for the coming weeks or as soon as possible, in addition to taking necessary actions to prevent further spread.

The following points support my argument:
1. The college started on 4th January after Semester End break due to which students from their respective homes in different states will return to college. We also have students from corona risk states like Maharashtra, Bihar , UP , Delhi etc. Mass gatherings in classes will lead to spread.
2. Mass stays in hostels and using common toilets.
3. All schools and colleges in the state have announced suspension of classes. However, being a responsible institute and an institute of national importance, DIT should take immediate, concrete and effective actions for prevention of the spread on the novel Coronavirus.
4. Also centrally funded institute in other parts of country had also taken steps and classes are being suspended to prevent this spread.
5. As we already know, exams are scheduled in the month of May. To avoid delay in exams (if the virus keeps spreading like this), its necessary that the college declares suspension now.
6. Since we have students from all over the country and from other countries too, we are more prone towards COVID-19.
This petition keeps in mind the best interest of whole DIT Family. Single case coming from other state due to travel after holidays can lead to spread of this epidemic in whole institute. We request you to implement Blended Mode of teching and learning.

Thankyou
