Due to a time constraint during the convocation ceremony on Wednesday, students at the Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) raised a ruckus over not being able to receive their degrees personally from Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangu Bhai Patel, prompting the latter to stay back and hand over the degrees.
According to eyewitnesses, the Governor, who is also the chancellor of public colleges, modified his plans following the uproar and handed out degrees and medals to all qualifying students.
"There is a time restriction in a Governor's programme," Madhya Pra???????desh higher education minister Mohan Yadav, who attended the ceremony, subsequently told reporters. The number of pupils who were intended to graduate was more than expected."
Patel decided to stay for the programme beyond his initial schedule at Yadav's request and finish the degree and medal presentation formalities, according to Yadav.
According to a DAVV official, 148 research scholars were expected to get PhD degrees and a total of 113 graduate and undergraduate students were expected to receive gold medals for academic distinction during the convocation ceremony. He said the Governor had allotted 90 minutes for the convocation, during which 50 PhD scholars and 50 deserving students were to receive their degrees and medals.
According to the official, the rest were to receive their degrees and medals from the vice-chancellor. During the commotion, a female research scholar was seen crying and explaining that she had travelled all the way from Mumbai to get her degree from the Governor, but that she had not been invited to the dais.
