DU unveils ambitious satellite system plan for real-time student exchanges
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.
Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh highlighted the university’s commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and social outreach, noting that DU’s recognition as an Institution of Eminence by the central government reflects its dedication to knowledge production and dissemination.
