Executive Council approves Centre for Odia Studies, dissent on govt grant reduction

- IFRAH MUFTI @ New Delhi

THE Executive Council (EC) of the University of Delhi on Friday approved major financial proposals for the upcoming academic year, including a ₹1,651.42-crore budget estimate for 2026-27 in its meeting held on Friday.

The clearance, however, came with a formal dissent note from an EC member who raised concerns over the growing dependence on internal revenue and the consequent rise in student fees.

During the meeting, chaired by Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, the EC reviewed the Finance Committee's recommendations from December 9 and passed both the revised budget for 2025-26 and the budget estimate for 2026-27. The revised estimate for 2025-26 saw a sharp cut, from ₹1,664.74 crore to ₹1,312.33 crore, primarily due to a reduction in government grants.

Keeping an AI on the Future in the Age of Hype and Tech

Every age thinks it has found the password to the Future. Its occupants flaunt it with the chutzpah of chimpanzees, at conferences, seminars while aggressively wolfing down curated trays of canapés. The new future has been AI-ing for some time now. No article, party conversation, proud podcast, keynote address, TED talk, government policy paper or a startup pitch deck is perfect sans the ‘AI’ word. Generative AI is cocktail garnish like the cilantro on Indian food when the chef is just showing off. As of early 2026, ChatGPT had generated in excess of 618 million searches on a monthly basis across the globe, and was one of the most searched terms in the planet. Its competitors—Gemini, DeepSeck, Perplexity—are not far behind.
