Students who had already collected their degree/diploma earlier, as the University could not organize the convocation for the past two years due to COVID-19, were also allowed to participate in the Degree & Award Felicitation Ceremony by registering themselves on the University website.
The main attraction of the ceremony was the dress code, wherein all participants were vestured in Indian culture. The Vice Chancellor in his valedictory speech said that our priority is the health of the students, at the same time their safe future has also been taken care of. He emphasized on the achievement of the long cherished dream of the founder of the trust by following the principles laid down by HH Swami Rama and serving the people of the hills and contributing back to the community as a mandate. In his brief and captivating address he inspired the graduates, students and faculty of the Institute.
The Convocation ended with the National Anthem sung by all, followed by lunch.
