द्वंद्व कहाँ-तक पाला जाए, युद्ध कहाँ तक टाला जाए,
तू वंशज है राणा का, फेंक जहाँ तक भाला जाए!!

महाराणा प्रताप उन वीर सपूतों में से थे जो की माँ भारती की रक्षा के लिए अपना सब कुछ कुर्बान कर दिए थे। अगर उस समय भारतीय राजा आपसी मतभेद भुला देते तो लुटेरे दिल्ली की गद्दी पर नहीं बैठते। उनका नाम इतिहास में वीरता, शौर्य, त्याग, पराक्रम और दृढ प्रण के लिये अमर है। उन्होंने मुगल बादशाह अकबर की अधीनता स्वीकार नहीं की और कई सालों तक संघर्ष किया। अपनी भूमि के प्रति उनका प्रेम, मुगल आक्रमणकारियों के खिलाफ वीरतापूर्ण लड़ाई और कभी हार न मानने वाला रवैया आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए प्रेरणा का एक बड़ा स्रोत है।

देशबंधु कॉलेज वीरता और पराक्रम के पर्याय महाराणा प्रताप को उनकी जयंती पर शत शत नमन कर रहा है ...
उनके साहस और संघर्ष की गाथा देशवासियों को सदा प्रेरित करती रहेगी।

An academic visit to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Civil Lines, New Delhi was organised by the Department of Zoology, Deshbandhu College, University of Delhi, for students of B.Sc. Hons Zoology GE Sem IV and B.Sc. (Prog) Life Science Sem II on 15th April, 2026. This visit was co-ordinated by the esteemed Principal, Prof. Rajendra Kumar Pandey, Dr Irengbam Rocky, and Dr Sushma Sharma. The purpose of the visit was to gain practical exposure to the functioning of a National-level institute involved in disease surveillance, prevention and control. It provided an opportunity to understand how theoretical knowledge of biology and public health is applied in real-world scenarios. During our time at NCDC, we were guided through various divisions and sessions by experienced professionals, including Dr Raghavendra, Dr Himanshu Chauhan, Dr Naveen Gupta, and Dr Shaukat Kamal, who introduced us to different aspects of public health, epidemiology, laboratory practices, and vector management. We attended a series of informative sessions conducted by experienced professionals from different divisions. Each session provided valuable insights into NCDC's operations and various aspects of public health. Introduction to NCDC & Epidemiology Division was conducted by Dr Raghavendra, Additional Director of the Centre. He gave us an overview of the NCDC, its objectives and highlighted the importance of epidemiology in disease surveillance and control. The next session was taken by Dr Himanshu Chauhan, who explained the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program and its role in monitoring and managing disease outbreaks across the country. Dr Naveen Gupta focused on the One Health approach, emphasising the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Dr Shaukat Kamal explained vector identification and control strategies and guided us through the Entomology Museum, which provided a visual learning experience on the identification of various mosquitoes, other arthropods, rodents, and other animals. The National Centre for Disease Control has 1,08,757 specimens in its Epidemiology museum, out of which 89,464 are mosquito specimens belonging to 31 genera and 539 species around India and the world. It has many other insects, arachnids and vectors such as rodents, parrots, etc. We observed live cultures of Culex, Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, which are maintained for research work. All three stages of the mosquitoes: eggs, larvae (L1, L2, L3), pupae, and adult forms were cultured. Finally, the visit was concluded with a group photograph with Dr Arti Bahl, Additional Director of the centre. Overall, the visit was highly informative and engaging, giving valuable exposure to the students and provided the latest information on the insect vectors and diseases.

”हर दिन एक नया दिन होता है इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि बीता हुआ कल कितना मुश्किल था हर दिन का एक नया सवेरा एक नई उम्मीद लेकर पैदा होता है..... भगवान गौतम बुद्ध

आज वैशाख पूर्णिमा है और आज बौद्ध धर्म की स्थापना करने वाले भगवान गौतम बुद्ध जी का जन्‍म हुआ था l इतिहास में ये हैं कि गौतम बुद्ध का जन्‍म 563-483 ई.पू. के मध्य में लुम्बिनी में हुआ था जो कि वर्तमान में नेपाल का हिस्‍सा है l कई ग्रंथों में महात्मा बुद्ध जी को भगवान विष्णु का 8वां अवतार माना जाता है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि वैशाख पूर्णिमा के दिन ही इन्‍हें ज्ञान की प्राप्ति हुई थी और फिर 80 वर्ष की आयु में आज के ही दिन पर कुशीनगर में इनका महाप्रयाण हुआ तभी से वैशाख पूर्णिमा को बुद्ध पूर्णिमा के रूप में मनाया जाता है। आज भक्त बौद्ध मंदिरों में भगवान बुद्ध के जीवन, उनकी शिक्षाओं और उनके सिद्धांतों के बारे में भजन और उपदेश पढ़ते हैं। भगवान बुद्ध की प्रतिमा पर फूल और माला चढ़ाई जाती हैं। लोग बोधगया जाकर बोधिवृक्ष( पीपल) की पूजा करते हैं। वृक्ष पर दूध और इत्र मिला हुआ जल चढ़ाया जाता है। सरसों के तेल का दीपक पीपल के पेड़ पर जलाया जाता है।भारत के अलावा और भी कई देशों जैसे चीन, नेपाल, सिंगापुर, वियतनाम, थाइलैंड, जापान, कंबोडिया, मलेशिया, श्रीलंका, म्यांमार, इंडोनेशिया में भी यह पर्व मनाते है । उत्‍तर प्रदेश के कुशी नगर जिले में इस अवसर पर मेला लगता है।
महात्मा बुद्ध के अनमोल विचार किसी भी व्यक्ति को सही मार्ग पर ला सकते हैं महात्मा बुद्ध के विचारों पर चलकर कोई भी व्यक्ति सत्य की राह पर चलकर अपने जीवन को सफल कर सकता है। यह पर्व बुद्ध जी के आदर्शों और धर्म के मार्ग पर चलने की सामर्थ्य और प्रेरणा देता है।
यह पर्व सभी को शांति का संदेश देता है।
बुद्ध पूर्णिमा की आप सभी को हार्दिक बधाई और शुभकामनाएं 🙏💐University of Delhi DeshbandhuCollege DelhiUniversity University of Delhi South Campus Rajendra K Pandey
