Print all pending 20 lakh degrees by May 31: Rajasthan Governor

April 02, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:46 am IST - JAIPUR:

Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh on Wednesday directed Rajasthan University to print all pending 20 lakh degrees by May 31.

Chairing a review meeting of a committee set up to oversee the progress of printing of degrees by Rajasthan University, Mr Singh also asked the authorities to fill all vacant posts at the earliest.

Taking a serious view of the pendency of degrees to student, the Governor has decided not to accept any invitations for convocation of state-funded universities of which he also happens to be the Chancellor.

Mr Singh instructed Rajasthan University authorities to take up the issue of printing degrees on a priority and ensure that at least one lakh degrees are printed each day so that the work is completed by May 31.

Rajasthan University has a backlog of 20 lakh degrees while at least seven other major universities also have a huge pendency.

There are 26 state universities in Rajasthan.
