The Electoral Literacy Club (ELC) of the college organised an extended interaction with a team of experts on the recent initiatives of Election Commision of India.. A team of experts from Election Commission of UT, Chandigarh addressed the students and faculty on the occasion. Welcoming the experts, in her opening remarks, Dr. Madhu Gupta, Nodal Officer (ELC) of the College, briefly explained the twin objectives of Election Commission of India – one is to ensure hundred percent enrolment of new voters, and the other is to verify and authenticate the details of existing voters on a dedicated portal of Election Commission of India. During the Workshop, the experts demonstrated features of National Voter's Service Portal (NVSP) towards verification and registeration of voters of India. The step-wise operation of the portal was explained and shown on the big screen before a capacity crowd of about 500 students. It was highlighted that how the portal would enable the youth above the age of 18 to enrol itself online and how the same portal can be accessed to verify details and also change them, if needed by the exisitng voters. The experts also briefed the students about the voter helpline App which they can download from Google Playstore. A live demonstration of the App was given on the occasion. On the occasion many students raised their problems in regard to the online registration and verification of their details. Many students also raised their concerns about not receiving their voter ID despite their submission of forms last year. The interaction of the experts was organized by the college to accelerate the process of enrolment of newly joined students, and also to help the existing voters to verify their details. The ELC plans to host such programmes in future too. The faculty an students of the Department of Philosophy also actively participated in the programme.
