Delhi University is in the process of realising a future where students can collaborate in real-time with peers from universities around the world, using satellite technology for seamless communication and remote learning. The university is set to implement a satellite system initiative which will make this a reality under its newly approved Institutional Development Plan (IDP), reported TOI. The plan outlines both short-term and long-term goals, including infrastructure enhancements and sustainability efforts, such as recycling programs, water conservation, and the introduction of electric vehicles on campus. The satellite initiative is a major step forward for the university, aiming to integrate cutting-edge technology into education. «It will facilitate global digital connectivity while also contributing to national priorities in security, navigation, and environmental monitoring,» said a senior official. Through partnerships with organisations like ISRO, DU hopes to provide students and researchers with access to crucial data and resources worldwide, according to the TOI report.

I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing… I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately, it was too crowded and I never did find them,' he posted on X.
