Edition 38

EDITORS’ NOTE
A University is an established place where one goes through immense personal
growth. But never could we have imagined to be a part of a University that underwent
such a massive evolution in itself during the time we were on its rolls.
As we speak, the campus continues to blossom, and the Institute, while preserving
its name as one of the most well-regarded schools for technical knowledge in the
country, has emerged to stand as a symbol of excellence in every venture, from the
sports arena to the performance stage. The breathtaking sights and sounds in the
plethora of festivals that adorned the past academic year bear testimony to the
progress that DTU has made in this fantastic journey of yours - a record of which
DTU Times presents you with, through its 38th Edition.
Encompassing the echoes that you leave behind in the corridors, portraying the
impressions that you created on three generations of students, and taking you
down the avenues of emotion and memory, of what is, and what might have been,
dear Fourth Year… this one, is for you.
In Memoriam...
W ith immense sorrow, we’d like to inform
our readers of the sad demise of
our Registrar, Col. (Retd.) Neeraj Suri.
He was an alumnus of the National Defence
Academy. Having served in the Indian
Army in various capacities for over
31 years, he was also briefly Advisor,
Aerospace and Defence for KPMG India.
He joined DTU in July 2014 and had been integral in the development of the
University ever since. His insightful intellect and passion for hard work will be missed
by all those who had the privilege of knowing him. The loss of Col. Suri will be felt
dearly, and the University offers its deepest condolences to his family and loved
ones in these trying times. May his blessed soul rest in peace.
