Ambedkar University welcomes over 1,000 new UG students at orientation
A big university in Delhi, called Ambedkar University, started a new school year.
It welcomed more than 1,000 new students and their parents.
The welcome event was called 'Dikshaarambh 2026'.
It was held at a big convention centre called Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
The Delhi Education Minister, Ashish Sood, told the students to build their own story, learn new things, and make their country proud.
The university also showed a new video about itself.
It launched the second edition of a special dictionary, 'Avdharnakosh', to help students who study in Hindi.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof Anu Singh Lather, said getting a degree is not enough — being a good person and helping society matters too.
The new students learned about the different subjects they can study across the university's four campuses.
The university follows India's new education plan, the National Education Policy, 2020.
