NCU PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH A COVID VACCINE CENTER AT CAMPUS

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown a special obligation of educational institutions for their population. To express the gratitude towards all the healthcare professionals, police personnel, military and paramilitary forces, journalists, and media persons, had announced additional seats for Children of COVID-19 Warriors for AY 2020-21. Their children will also be eligible to apply for merit-based fee concessions and scholarships.

In continuation to our initiatives, the University wishes to be a part of the biggest vaccination drive (for coivd) in the world and therefore offer services of our staff members & the campus site for the same. The university has a vast majority of people in the age group of 50 years and under who could assist the District Administration in increasing the number of vaccination sites in Gurugram. Thereby speeding the vaccination process. We also have two medical Officers who can assist in the process. If we see in the larger context it will take very long to immunize the target population of the Gurugram, unless we increase the number of vaccination centers in the district.

We, therefore, feel that a bottom-up approach by involving a large number of stakeholders can help the District Heath Department to cover the eligible population location in Gurugram in a shorter time frame. In light of same, NCU has proposed to establish a Vaccine Center in the second phase as per the Government norms to serve the Larger Community of Gurugram.
