It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to join Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology family as its head. I take this opportunity to welcome new students joining the University for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. While entering a university most of such students move away from the folds of their family for the first time and face the challenges of higher studies as well as a new atmosphere. But let me give them the assurance that they would find a new family of their teachers, seniors and peers here on the campus and would be helped in all possible ways to face those challenges and overcome all the difficulties. The serene and pollution free environment that the University provides will prove to be an inspiring setting for wonderful achievements not only in their professional careers but also in their overall growth as good human beings. Through a synergetic fabric of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities we wish to bring out the best in our students and hone and polish all their hidden and visible talents and skills so as to develop their confidence to become responsible and morally upright citizens of the country, ready to serve the society in the best possible manner.
