DULSA
The Delhi University Library Science Students' Association (DULSA) established in 1959, serves as a platform for both professional and cultural engagements among Library and Information Science students at the University of Delhi. DULSA stands distinct from a traditional student union, focusing instead on nurturing camaraderie, fostering cooperation, and facilitating professional growth among its members. Its core objectives include providing a platform for professional development, encouraging active participation in diverse professional activities, and organizing periodic special lectures and field trips throughout the academic session.
