Nirmal Singh led the batch for the oath taking ceremony following which the students were officially declared as degree holders.

Although the Convocation is observed as a strictly formal event, Hema Malini managed to get cheers when she came on stage to receive the PhD.

In her speech, later, she reminisced about the time she’d spent finding solace in dancing and acting.  Dr. E Sreedharan talked about the challenges he was posed with when the 760 km long stretch of Mumbai to Bangalore Konkan Railway line was to be installed and when the next objective of Delhi Metro was posed to him.  Both of the extraordinary personalities were presented the degree for their outstanding achievements in their respective fields.

For Hema Malini, this is an icing on the cake as she recently also bagged the honors of having her picture put on stamps in Norway.  And for Dr Sreedharan this is just another landmark in the long run of recognitions that he has been creating for himself and the country.
