Indraprastha University plans to launch community radio, more UG courses under new VC

Setting up a community radio, starting new undergraduate courses, improving perception and addressing litigations are on the agenda of Mahesh Verma, the newly appointed vice-chancellor of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University.

The university was accredited A' grade twice by NAAC and Verma said getting the accreditation again is a priority for him.

"We are trying to meet all parameters of NAAC to get A' grade again. For the last four-five years, the public perception and visibility of the university has declined. We are trying hard to regain its glory and grace. We scored four marks out of 30 on the perception parameter in the NIRF rankings and our ranking also suffered because of it," he told reporters.

Verma said since he assumed office, he has noticed that the varsity faced hundreds of litigations
