New Delhi: Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on Wednesday made a strong pitch for a medical college-cum-hospital at its annual convocation attended by President Ram Nath Kovind and human resource development minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’. More than 10,000 students, including 350 gold medallists, who passed in 2017 and 2018 were awarded degrees and diplomas on the occasion. Out of 350 gold medallists, 183 were girls.
The President congratulated all the passing students, especially the girl gold medallists who outnumbered boys.
Kovind congratulated the university for entering into its centenary year, and said that the founders of the varsity were also connected with the freedom struggle. “JMI is the symbol of the country’s composite culture, which not only needs to be preserved, but also strengthened,” he said.
About the proposed new education policy of the government, the President said that it is to establish India as a ‘knowledge superpower’. “Students should go to villages and try to understand their issues while making villagers aware of various welfare schemes,” Kovind said
Addressing the ceremony, both JMI chancellor Najma Heptulla and vice-chancellor Najma Akhtar sought the government’s help in setting up a medical college-cum-hospital in the university.
Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ in his address assured all possible help to the varsity. “The new education policy will help in fulfilling Narendra Modi’s resolve to raise India’s economy to five trillion dollars by 2024,” he added.
Vice-chancellor Najma Akhtar said that the university is planning to put itself on the national map in respect of environmental studies and climate action.
