MADURAI: The 42nd annual convocation of Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) will take place here on November 12 with the Vice-Chairman of University Grants Commission, Mool Chand Sharma, as chief guest.
He will deliver the convocation address and award degrees/medals to candidates, R. Karpaga Kumaravel, MKU Vice-Chancellor, said after the Syndicate meeting held on Sunday.
The Syndicate members discussed arrangements to be made for the convocation and the visit of Governor/Chancellor Surjit Singh Barnala who would chair the convocation ceremony.
Dr. Karapaga Kumaravel told The Hindu that the varsity is not conferring honorary doctorate (Honoris Causa) on any individual this year “because the university wants to identify really deserving persons through an objective assessment.”
He said that the varsity would invite applications through the media and web site based on which a specially constituted committee will select a couple of individuals for conferring honorary doctorate.
An important resolution passed at the Syndicate, according to the Vice-Chancellor, was with regard to increasing the green cover in the university campus by planting more saplings and laying lawns.
“We will spend Rs.19 lakh for this green campus initiative which will be carried out in association with the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU). Our objective is to improve the ambience of the university campus,” Dr. Karpaga Kumaravel said.
The TNAU will execute the project through its horticulture experts and will also be involved in maintenance of greenery.
