New Delhi: Great endeavorfor the ones associated with Delhi University (DU), as the University gets its own networking site - Network DU. With over 2,000 registrations in just four weeks, this is a virtual site wherein one can look for anyone and anything - from old friends to scholarships and even information on paying guest accommodation.This site is the brain child of Honey Arora, a technical expert. Network DU (www.networkdu.com) comes with all the features of other social networking sites.
Arora said that the main purpose of launching the social networking site is to get DU more connected through it. In the IITs and IIMs, the alumni help their juniors in getting internships and job placements. Network DU will do something similar. Besides friends, a student can get in touch with alumni of the university, through this portal, and seek help in terms of their career. He further mentions that his next destination is Amity University, where he plans to create a portal for its students.
Of the total 2,000 people who have registered, 1,500 are at present studying in the university, while the rest are its alumni. There is, however, no restriction on a non-DU member, to join the network. It is a comprehensive site with blogs, music, chat and even an online shopping link. The site gives you all that other networking sites have to offer. It also has debates on hot topics. The site also has space for classified information like contact addresses of hostels and PG accommodation around the campus. Besides this, it has information on the institutes in the campus, scholarships and internships.
