In his Independence Day speech, the vice chancellor or Indira Gandhi National Open University promised that the dispensary on its MaidanGarhi campus will be converted into a 'mini hospital.'

"The small dispensary located in the campus for the staff shall soon be converted into a mini hospital so that any staff member undergoing any emergency, for example, a heart attack, can be aided," announced M. Aslam, VC, IGNOU.

A statement released by the university says that he also "brought forward various challenges faced by him since his recent joining." "When I joined the university 21 lakh study materials were printed; 4,54,000 students appeared for the term-end exam; then came the time of admission which was publicized in every regional centre of the country with the help of the Regional Directors ; even though the number of programmes was 153 but it was fulfilled with four lakh registrations."

The statement also says Aslam spoke of "new initiative" including a "Indo-African Virtual University" for Africans.
