Establishment of the Delhi School of Public Health and the Delhi School of Public Policy, a DU campus in Najafgarh and a hostel for foreign students are among a slew of initiatives to be undertaken by the Delhi University, vice-chancellor Yogesh Tyagi announced at the 95th convocation on Monday.

This year, the university awarded degrees to more than one lakh graduating students, he said, adding DU was the only central university that had been selected as one of the eight Public Institutes of Eminence.

He said the aspiration of the university is "to help build the cyber shield of India, as well as that of the world".
