The fourth convocation of J P University-Chhapra on May 28 will see students wearing ethnic dresses while receiving their degrees as the university has decided to do away with the colonial black gown and hat.
While the boys will be in white kurta, trouser, Malaviya turban and ‘angvastram, the girls will wear cream sari with red border and lemon-coloured blouse. Governor-cum- chancellor of universities Lalji Tandon will preside over the convocation ceremony.
Former chairperson of National Council for Teacher Education J S Rajput will be the chief speaker. CM Nitish Kumar, state education minister Krishna Nandan Prasad Verma, principal secretary to governor Vivek Kumar Singh and principal secretary in education department R K Mahajan will be special guests.
The university has also proposed to confer honorary degree for the first time since its inception in 1992. “The Syndicate has sent the proposed list of recipients to the chancellor for his approval,” said Harikesh Singh, vice-chancellor of J P University.
Commenting on the new uniform code, the VC said most universities in the country have started using traditional garments at convocations. “We have also decided to go back to traditional Indian attire for the ceremony,” he said.
