Vice Chancellor said that when there was a discussion on organizing the centenary year celebrations of the University, we tried to look at the documents related to the programs that would have been organized on the completion of 25 years, 50 years and 75 years of the university so that the we can get help to organise centenary program, but no further information regarding those programs were available in the university. Therefore, it was decided that all the programs and things related to the centenary celebration should be documented. The above book is a good document in the same series which will prove to be very beneficial in the coming years. Discussing the contents of the book, he said that a lot of interesting material has been stored inside it, from pictures to written form.

After Modi's arrival, the sentiments expressed by the teachers of University of Delhi for Prime Minister Modi through social media have also been saved in the same manner in this book. The Vice Chancellor appealed that everyone may have many memories related to one year of the centenary year, these should be written down.
