Dr Lal Singh Rawat Conferred Honorary Doctorate: The Corona Warrior from Uttarakhand Who Served Delhi for 8 Years.

At a time when personal success often overshadows public good, Dr. Lal Singh Rawat (Honoris Causa) has built a legacy rooted in service. A social activist from Devbhoomi, Uttarakhand, now based in North East Delhi, he has spent nearly eight years working on the ground in disaster relief, healthcare, environmental conservation, and community welfare.
