This step aims to protect academic interests of students affected by unforeseen international emergencies and upholds DU’s commitment to inclusive education and student welfare.
🛡️ What Is Operation Sindoor?
Operation Sindoor was launched by the Government of India as a rapid military and diplomatic mission to evacuate Indian citizens stranded abroad due to escalating conflict. Several DU students were among those caught in the crisis while on internships, exchange programs, research visits, or family travel.
