India, Sept. 10 -- A fter a five-storey boys' PG in Satya Niketan (Delhi) collapsed on September 6, killing seven people and leaving several students without accommodation, Delhi University colleges stepped in to provide temporary shelter. At Sri Venkateswara College, just across from Satya Niketan and barely 200 metres from the affected area, principal Vajala Ravi stayed back on campus overnight as around 72 displaced students arrived seeking food, bedding and shelter. A clip of Ravi sleeping on the college premises later circulated on social media, drawing attention from students. Recalling the night, he says, "It was simply a fatherly instinct that came straight from my heart. I was on campus from the moment the incident happened until late at night. I was exhausted and thought about going home, but my mind wouldn't allow it. I couldn't leave the arriving students alone. I told myself, 'No, I have to be with my students in case they need anything'." Ravi, who lives barely 10 minutes from the college, says several students arrived frightened and hungry. "Many came up to me saying they were terrified and hungry. I told them not to worry, and just come and eat as much as you need. We arranged food, hydration, clean bedding, and mattresses. More than that, it was vital to sit with them, listen to their anxiety, and ensure they felt supported." For Ravi, who also studied and began his teaching career at the college, staying back was less about making a gesture and more about being available when students needed help: "This university is a family, and you don't turn your back on family. Having studied and started my teaching career here, my bond with these students isn't artificial; it's home."...
