🎓 UCMS FOUNDATION DAY 2026 | WELL-BEING & LEGACY
On the occasion of the Foundation Day of the University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, celebrated on 25 October 2026, we are pleased to share a message by the Former Chief Justice of India.

The University College of Medical Sciences & GTB Hospital, Delhi, celebrated its 55th Foundation Day on 25 Oct 2026, commemorating a journey of excellence in med ed, healthcare, research, and service to society. Chief guest -Hon’ble Dr. Justice D. Y. Chandrachud, former CJI

[IANS @ians_india]

Delhi: At the 55th Foundation Day & Degree Distribution Ceremony at University College of Medical Sciences and GTB Hospital, Former Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud says, "There is another confession which I have to make. I don't believe that the years of one's life indicate the quality of wisdom in them. India is a young nation, a nation of young people. In the nation of the young that we are, we better have faith in the energy of the young that all of you represent. So, you may fairly ask what a man who spent nearly 45 years in the courtroom could possibly offer a hall full of future healers. Perhaps only this: the view from the other side of the table. In my logbook of life, I have seen and experienced many cycles or seasons, as you may say..."

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
