Delhi University freshmen take part in a heritage walk across the university’s North Campus, guided by historian Sohail Hashmi. Students are introduced to historic stories and landmarks that shaped the campus over decades, as they explore key areas with their fellow classmates.
The walk includes the protected Kamla Nehru Ridge, described as a strategic military landmark dating to 1857. Along the route, participants also hear about the ridge’s significance and learn about local details, including the area’s monkey population. Outlets frame the event primarily as an orientation activity that helps new students become familiar with the campus’s history and surroundings, though the specific emphasis is on different elements such as the ridge’s heritage and the on-site learning experience.
