The first reaction of DU Vice Chancellor Professor Yogesh Singh has come to light on the confrontation that took place in the North Campus of Delhi University. The Vice Chancellor has expressed grief over this entire incident during the Literature Festival. He condemned the incident while giving a statement in the presence of thousands of students and teachers.

Vice Chancellor Professor Yogesh Singh said that the incident that happened yesterday is very worrying and such incidents should not happen. We talk about unity in diversity, about living together, but if we stop considering humans as humans, then there is no point in celebrating literary festivals and reading books.

He said that even small incidents are warnings and we should take them seriously. If we cannot understand the helplessness in the eyes of a girl, then what will be the meaning of our education and understanding? It is important to express concern and sorrow over this incident.

Do not do anything that weakens unity – VC

The Vice Chancellor asked the students and teachers present to raise their hands and take a pledge that social concerns will never be allowed to diminish. He said that this country is ours and we have to take care of it, no one else will come to take our responsibility. He clearly said that we will not do anything that weakens the sensitivity and unity of the society. If there is less humanity in the society then the purpose of education and literature will also remain incomplete, hence it is important to be alert.

What happened in Delhi University?

Two groups of students came face to face in the North Campus of Delhi University demanding implementation of UGC’s rules related to equality. A large number of students gathered during the day, the beginning was peaceful but as the crowd increased, sloganeering and debate led to a scuffle and the matter reached the Maurice Nagar Police Station.

According to eyewitnesses, there was a heated argument between the two parties and allegations and counter-allegations started. Meanwhile, a female journalist associated with a YouTube channel arrived for coverage and was allegedly misbehaved and attacked. After the incident, questions were raised regarding the safety of journalists and an impartial investigation was demanded.

In the first round of admission season 2025 in Delhi University (DU), the choice of students has shocked everyone. While BCom (Honors) is at the top with 48,336 First Preference Applications as usual, BSC (Hons) Joology has made a tremendous jump and made it to the third position.

According to reports, this year, 12,722 students have described this course as their first choice, which is a record in itself. Even more interesting is that Zoology has traditionally surpassed the popular English (Hons).

BA Hons Political Science was second with 15,295 First Choice Applications. Last year, the top three included BCom (H), English (H) and Political Science (H), but this year the entry of Zoology changed the game.

Why did the demand of zoology increase?

Prof. Head of DU’s Department of Zoology, Prof. According to Rita Singh, this change has not come suddenly. Kovid epidemic has changed the way of thinking of students. In Life Sciences, all the important aspects like immunity, vaccine, genetics, PCR are related to Zoology. During the epidemic, the students realized that the future of this field is very strong.

Attractions became a chance of research in NEP

Under the new education policy (NEP), there has also been an increase in interest in zoology due to the option of research project in the fourth year. Pro. Singh said that now it is no longer limited to the biodiversity of animals. Students are now also learning how physiology connects with environmental science, and how biotechnology, medicine and zoology have mutual relations.

Changes are seen in students’ thinking

A student of the final year of BSC (Honors) Zoology said that my nature and attachment to fauna had started with books, which deepened by watching videos related to environment on YouTube. I have always been a fan of people who raise their voice for animals. I like field work a lot because I think there should be both meaning and joy in work.
