The Delhi University will commence year-long centenary celebrations on Sunday with the launch of a commemorative stamp, a coin, and a website to mark the completion of 100 years of the prestigious varsity. The inaugural ceremony on Sunday will be held in the multipurpose hall, University of Delhi Sports Complex.
Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu, who is the Chancellor of the university, will be the chief guest at the event and Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Education, will be the guest of honour. To mark the occasion, DU Registrar Vikas Gupta said Vice-President Naidu will launch a commemorative coin of a hundred-rupee denomination, a commemorative centenary stamp, and a commemorative Centenary Volume (booklet) — a pictorial representation of the historical journey of the university.
"VP Naidu will also launch Undergraduate Curricular Framework (UGCF) 2022 (Hindi version), Undergraduate Curricular Framework (UGCF) 2022 (Sanskrit version), University of Delhi: A Glimpse - a reservoir of the historical landmarks achieved by the University and a brief account of recent initiatives and centenary plans," he said. Naidu will also launch the centenary website that will serve as a "digital journey" down the memory lane.
A 100-seconds-long documentary on the life of the university will also be shown.
