Navrachana University’s 4th Convocation, 323 students graduate
“Private universities can be imaginative, innovative, experimental, open to collaboration with Indian and foreign universities, willing to allocate resources to disciplines and areas that are most likely to yield results, and train their faculty to international standards.
In so doing they can show by example what the state and other Indian universities at their best are capable of achieving, and create a climate in which enough pressure is exerted on all universities to deliver high quality education.” said Padma Bhushan Lord Bhikhu Parekh, while delivering the Convocation Address as the Chief Guest at Navrachana University’s 4th Convocation on Saturday, December 10, 2016.
