Through this Vidya Vistar Scheme, Delhi University proposes to throw open its libraries, faculties, and other educational facilities in its colleges and departments to partner institutions for academic collaboration and cooperation.

He added that he is keen to see DU continuously improve its ranking. In the past 4.5 years, things have deteriorated but I attempted to accelerate those procedures. It was my endeavor that people do not consider the past five years as black years, Joshi asserted.
