The Central University of Punjab held its seventh convocation in hybrid mode on its campus in Ghudda village in the state.

Gold medals were awarded to 35 meritorious students who secured the first position in their respective disciplines.

While speaking on the occasion, Chancellor Jagbir Singh, who presided over the ceremony, said the convocation was held in hybrid mode owing to the ongoing pandemic in the country and to maintain the social distancing at all points. It must be noted that while all the PhD students received their degrees in offline mode, only a few PG students were called upon to attend the ceremony on the campus. 

Central University of Punjab, Vice-Chancellor Raghavendra P Tiwari said owing to academic excellence, the university has improved its national ranking and has earned its place among the top 10% higher educational institutes across the world. He urged the graduating students to always use innovative and scientific approaches to find solutions to various problems and work hard to make a mark on the global platform.

During his address, Anil Kakodkar, former chairperson, Atomic Energy Commission, stressed the need for innovative reforms in the educational framework to bridge the rural-urban knowledge gap in an era dominated by high-end technologies. He said higher education should aim at human capacity building for technology adaptation, produce knowledge-based value creators, and focus on academic collaborations with educational institutions in rural areas to bridge the growing disparity.
