LUCKNOW: Unable to find a suitable candidate, Lucknow University decided not to confer its coveted Chancellor's Gold Medal, awarded for overall excellence, this year at its 61st convocation ceremony.
This is the second medal after the Vice-Chancellor's Gold Medal which will not be awarded to any student this year.
The Chancellor's Gold Medal is awarded to a student with a good record in academics, extra-curricular activities, has a good behaviour and has been helpful to people in general.
It is first time in LU's history that no student will be awarded the medal which is given by the Governor, the chancellor of all the state universities. As many as 19 students had applied and LU officials had interviewed many candidates on Monday but they did not find any deserving candidate.
"The medal is awarded to a student who is an all-rounder along with an excellent academic record. Other requirements are that he or she should also have leadership qualities, must have done something for the society, should have participated in sports and extra-curricular activities at the national and international-level and should have helped the university in solving its problems. We didn't anyone who had all these qualities," said LU vice-chancellor SP Singh.
Singh said that the coveted medal is given to a student for being a multi-tasker and a multi-talented student.
"It can't be awarded to any student who has performed well only in academics, sports or social work. Hence, we decided not to award the medal this year."
