So, this is a really proud moment. This is a day to remember for the students and I have the same feeling as this degree I am getting is an achievement of lifetime for me,” he said.
Abdullah said when the head of the state comes to a university, it gives a boost to the students and it gives them the confidence that if they work hard and achieve the degrees, they will be awarded as well.
”It is really a great honour, it is a great privilege that the students are witnessing today,” he added. Girl toppers in various departments said it was a proud moment to receive the honours from the woman head of the state.
”It is a big moment for us because the President herself is coming here and as a girl student, it is very encouraging for us that we will be awarded by her,” Atira Adfar, a student, said.
Such events inspire students, especially the girl students, because the President herself is a woman and that too from the tribal community, Adfar said.
Barha Mushtaq, another girl student, said getting an award from the President was inspiring.
”We all are gathered here in order to get gold medals from the President of India. This is a very very great moment for all of us. We feel honoured,” she said.
