# Dyal Singh College staff protest renaming to Banda Singh Bahadur 2026-08-12T16:16:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Teachers and staff at Dyal Singh Evening College are protesting a proposal to rename their institution as Banda Singh Bahadur College. The protesters say the decision was taken without consulting the Staff Council, violating established procedures. Millennium Post reports the proposal was introduced in December 2025, but no formal discussion or approval was sought from the council before it was moved forward. A delegation recently met the Governing Body Chairman and demanded the proposal be withdrawn. The staff argue the college represents the legacy of Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a noted educationist and public figure. The dispute has sparked wider debate among students and faculty about institutional identity and heritage. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: Banda Singh Bahadur, Delhi, Dyal Singh College, protest, renaming row, university governance Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/dyal-singh-college-staff-protest-renaming-to-banda-singh-bahadur/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
