On 1st october, 2018, the University of Hyderabad celebrated its Twentieth Convocation, amidst a riot of colours and a stage bedecked with beautiful coloured flowers. The degrees were given by the illustrious Chancellor Justice L. Narsimha Reddy and Dr. Vijay Kumar Saraswat, Member of the Niti Aayog and former Director of the DRDO. The students looked very graceful and lovely, the girls in their white crisp sarees and the boys in Kurta's, Pyjamas or dhoti. I am so glad that we have given up the Colonial gowns for the Convocation, which were being used few years back and now with these ethnic dresses, there is an Indian touch to our Convocation. The whole environment was festive and it was great to know that our University featured in the year 2018,in the QS Top 50,Universities in the world that are under 50 years. It was nice to meet Pooja from the History Department, who got a gold medal and Arnav from Human Rights and in whose DC I was a member.
