The Governor reviewed the situation in view of the increase in coronavirus cases being reported on a daily basis and the emergence of new Omicron variant. Taking into consideration the prevailing situation, the Governor asked the Vice-Chancellors to postpone the convocations.
Harichandan has earlier informed the Vice-Chancellors to hold the annual convocations on regular basis by giving top priority to the students' careers and their future endeavours.
