As part of its silver jubilee celebrations, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University has decided to offer a “one-time chance” to the students who couldn’t complete their degrees over the past 25 years, its vice-chancellor said on Wednesday.

The university held a press conference here earlier in the day during which Vice Chancellor Mahesh Verma shared details about a host of programmes that will be held from October 5–10 as part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations.

Later, interacting with PTI, he also shared that the GGSIPU will “honour 25 research scholars” working in the field of healthcare.

The silver jubilee celebrations kicked off last December and are set to continue until December this year, he said.

During this jubilee period, the university is not only focusing on academic endeavours but also recognising excellence in healthcare.

As part of the university’s ongoing silver jubilee celebrations, ”we will be offering a one-time chance to students who, for various reasons, couldn’t complete their degrees over the past 25 years,” Verma told PTI.

This initiative demonstrates the university’s commitment to supporting educational pursuits and providing opportunities for academic achievement, he said.

Last year, Delhi University, which turned 100 in 2022, announced a “centenary” chance for students who could not complete their degree for some reason to return to university and take their exams.

People living in Delhi and neighbouring cities can come for free health check-ups, attend talks by experts and get medical tests done during a ‘health mela’ that will be hosted by the university at Talkatora Indoor Stadium starting Thursday.

The Ministry of Ayush, Central Health Education Bureau, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre, Maulana Azad Institute Of Dental Sciences and other organisations related to the healthcare sector are participating in this event, besides affiliated institutes of the university, he told reporters.

Additionally, people can take part in a range of daily activities, including singing, music, dance, plays, quizzes, debates, and stand-up comedy, ensuring a vibrant atmosphere at ‘Silver Jubilee Health Mela’, Verma said.

The Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) is the first university established in 1998 by the Government of NCT of Delhi. Its main campus is built on more than 60 acres in Dwarka.

Concerns Over India's "Hong Kong-Like" Development Project on Great Nicobar Island

 India’s ambitious development project on Great Nicobar Island, proposed to transform the remote region into a "Hong Kong-like" hub, has raised significant concerns among environmentalists and indigenous tribes. This $9 billion initiative, designed to include a transshipment harbor, power plant, airport, and township, aims to strengthen India’s position in global trade. Located near the crucial Strait of Malacca, the project is positioned to boost international commerce and tourism, potentially housing over 650,000 residents by its completion in 30 years. However, the development has sparked fears of ecological destruction and cultural loss for the island’s indigenous communities, especially the Shompen tribe, a nomadic group living in isolation. Fears of Environmental and Cultural Loss Mount as India's Development Project Environmentalists warn that the project threatens to devastate the island’s fragile rainforests, home to rare species of flora and fauna, with over 900...

The $3.1 billion deal, facilitated through a government-to-government arrangement with the U.S. defense contractor General Atomics, will be a key addition to India's defense capabilities, with no third-party involvement. CCS Set to Approve 31 Predator Drone Deal in India Today These drones, equipped with Hellfire missiles, GBU-39B precision-guided bombs, and rotary cannons, will be a game-changer, especially for the Indian Navy, which has spearheaded the acquisition.

While a portion of the drones will be assembled locally with 30% of components sourced from Indian industries, the integration of DRDO-developed missiles has been ruled out due to high costs and the comple...
