UCDVO teams worked in Delhi between 2003 and 2013. Over 250 volunteers from UCD and approximately 50 volunteers from universities in Delhi worked together during this period to implement a number of education, physiotherapy and construction projects primarily based in slum areas around the city. While UCDVO no longer operates a volunteer programme in Delhi, we continue to support our partner organisations where possible. On Saturday 7th May 2016, Prof. Andrew Deeks (UCD President) visited the UCDVO Education Centre in the Sangam Vihar slum community in Delhi. He was joined by Prof. Colin Scott (College Principal, Social Sciences and Law), Prof. Dolores O'Riordan (Vice-President for Global Engagement), Prof. Jeremy Simpson (Vice Principal College of Science), Dr. Eleni Mangina (School of Computer Science), Nicole Black (Director of Alumni Development), Una Watkins (Assistant Director, UCD International), and Dr. Conor Mulvagh (School of History).
