Professor Yogesh Singh took charge as the Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University on Friday and said that he would take all stakeholders of the university into account while charting the way forward for the university.
Mr. Singh said it would be premature to comment on the admission policy of the university that some groups are protesting against as he had just stepped in and was yet to meet the students and the faculty. “If some reforms are needed in the policy, I will take suggestions from deans and pincipals of vari- ous colleges and students to arrive at it. We are open to all suggestions and will bring about changes if needed.”
On the issue of recruitment, the Vice-Chancellor said he believes it has to be a continuous process and is one of the most important roles of a vice-chancellor. He said he would work with the constituent colleges of the university and ensure that the mandated student-teacher ratio is maintained.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
