DU also released an official statement regarding this which said that the school will provide incubation facilities for entrepreneurs and students which can also prove helpful in enhancing the research interests of the college teachers who are unable to take ideas forward due to the lack of necessary infrastructure and the right ecosystem at their place of work.
