The Delhi University on Tuesday said it will soon establish a Himalayan Museum on campus in association with the Centre for Himalayan Studies. This move will be a part of the University’s emphasis on “environment activity” instead of “economic activity.” In a webinar held on “Himalayan Future: Beyond 2050,” DU Vice-Chancellor P.C. Joshi urged citizens to come together to save the Himalayas. “DU is concerned and serious about the issues of the Himalayas. Therefore the University has established a Centre for Himalayan Studies on the campus to study and do research on all aspects of Himalayas on topmost priority. Very soon we will set up a Himalayan Museum on the campus,” said Mr. Joshi.More Related News

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
