It is my pleasure to be here today for the annual convocation of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore which is being held in its Golden Jubilee year. I congratulate all the students who have received their degrees and medals today.

Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya established in 1964 as University of Indore, reminds us of the great ruler Devi Ahilyabai Holkar who was a benevolent ruler of Malwa and who commands great respect. Association of her name with the University places great responsibility on the University to combine its role in higher education with service to society.
