THE PRESIDENT of India Smt Pratibha Devisingh Patil will be the chief guest in the XXIX Convocation being held by the university on February 8 next, in which the degrees will be conferred on both the dignitaries.
A decision to this effect was taken in a meeting of the Academic Council of the university held on January 27 afternoon in the Senate Hall of the university, presided over by the KU vice chancellor Lt General Dr DDS Sandhu. As the proposal mooted by the Department of Law was read by the member-secretary and the Registrar of the University Dr Surinder Deswal, the packed senate hall echoed with clapping and thumping of tables. It was passed unanimously by the academic council. The item was placed on the table by the university and was not listed in regular 25 odd items of academic importance, circulated earlier.
Earlier also, a programme of the convocation was almost finalised for 14 January when Smt Pratibha Patil visited Panipat on the occasion of 251st anniversary of the Third battle of Panipat, but her arrival in Kurukshetra University could not take place. Now, the President's Office has confirmed the date and schedule of the convocation on 8 February when Mauritius PM Navin Chandra Ram Ghulam will be in Kurukshetra with Rajya Sabha MP Dr Ram Prakash who is a close friend of the Maritius prime minister.
