UCMS Delhi and the University of Leicester @uniofleicester co-hosted a Pulmonary Rehabilitation workshop on April 15-16. Led by Prof. Dheeraj Shah & Dr. A.K. Sharma, 50 participants gained hands-on skills in COPD assessment & exercise prescription.

The University of Delhi admits students primarily based on the CUET scores, and the standard admission process does not mandate interviews for most undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.If the Leader of Opposition was referring to recruitments (such as faculty positions), the University in the recent past has recruited thousands of teachers across all categories. We strongly object to such comments, as they create a non-conducive environment in the University. The Leader of Opposition should have verified the facts before making such a statement. @EduMinOfIndia

#WATCH | The introduction of the HPV vaccine by the Government of India is an important step to protect girls and women from cervical cancer. As the disease is caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV), vaccination offers effective prevention. Expanding HPV vaccination at the national level for adolescent girls will help reduce the burden of cervical cancer and safeguard the health of future generations: Dr Dheeraj Shah, Principal, University College of Medical Service @MoHFW_INDIA #HPV #Vaccination

#WATCH | Delhi: On India to launch India's free nationwide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination campaign, Dr VK Paul, Member (Health) of NITI Aayog, "Cervical cancer refers to cancer that occurs above the mouth of the uterus. Its cause is a virus, the human papillomavirus, which causes this cancer, and there are two or three strains of it that cause it more. Fortunately, for diseases like cancer, we have a tool, a vaccine, that will prevent cancer for life. And the government is now launching a program to make this vaccine available to everyone. This is very important because when we look at the incidence of cancer, which cancers are common, this cancer is number two... Now, we must all join the program to provide this vaccine, which was already available in the market, to everyone in public health. We must all accept it without hesitation. The vaccine is completely safe. This vaccine is being used in more than 160 countries worldwide, and they are showing that it is almost eliminating this cancer. Now, when this vaccine is introduced in the country, it will be a boon for women's empowerment and our girls. You must all join this very soon and systematically. We administer this vaccine to children at the age of 14, who are entering the reproductive age, because there is a chance of this infection coming back after that."

#WATCH | Delhi | On HPV vaccination importance for 14-year-old girls, UCMS Delhi Principal Dr. Dheeraj Shah says, “The launch of HPV vaccine at the national level by the government is quite commendable. There was a demand for the vaccine for quite some time now, although it was available in the private sector. The vaccine would protect adolescence females and women against cervical cancer, which is caused by Human papillomavirus, and the HPV vaccine protects us from this virus…”

मैं दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय के सभी शिक्षकों और विद्यार्थियों से अनुरोध करता हूं कि वह आपस में सौहार्द बनाए रखें। कोई भी ऐसा काम न करें जिससे आपसी मनमुटाव बढ़े और राष्ट्र व विश्वविद्यालय की छवि को नुकसान हो। दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय में कल जो घटना हुई वह चिंता का विषय है। विश्वविद्यालय में भारत के सभी प्रदेशों और सभी समुदायों के विद्यार्थी पढ़ते हैं। सामाजिक सौहार्द सबसे बड़ी चीज है; और उसे बनाए रखना हम सब का कर्तव्य है। मैने आज कई विद्यार्थी समूहों और शिक्षक समूहों से बातचीत की है और पुलिस प्रशासन से भी बात करके ये सुनिश्चित करने को कहा है कि भविष्य में कोई ऐसी घटना न हो जिससे सद्भाव को कोई नुकसान पहुंचे। यूजीसी के जो नए नियम आए हैं वह अभी माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय में विचाराधीन है। मैं विश्वविद्यालय के सभी शिक्षकों और विद्यार्थियों से अपील करता हूं कि वह भारत सरकार पर अपना भरोसा बनाए रखें और माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के निर्णय का इंतजार करें। - प्रो. योगेश सिंह, कुलपति दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय, दिल्ली @EduMinOfIndia @YeDesHaiMera

राष्ट्र प्रथम, अनेकता में एकता: देश की चिंता कीजिए। ये देश हमारा है। कोई और इसकी चिंता करने नहीं आएगा। ये हमारा दायित्व है। @UnivofDelhi @EduMinOfIndia
