Haryana Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki on Thursday conferred honorary degrees of PhD on Union Railway Minister, Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu.
Solanki, who is also the Chancellor of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar, conferred honorary degrees on Railway Minister and Director, Institute of Scientific Research on Vedas, Saroj Bala at the fourth convocation function of the University.
Apart from this, 105 students were conferred with the degrees of Ph.D., whereas, 507 students were conferred with the degrees of Post Graduate and 338 students with degrees of Under Graduate. Also, 103 toppers of various streams were presented with gold medals.
Speaking on the occasion, Solanki said that the main aim of education is to ensure the growth of human values. Education does not hold any significance only for those who do not have a sense of responsibility towards the country and society, said he.
The Governor said that as every person was not able to fulfill their dream of attaining higher education, every youth attaining degree from this University should aim to make active contribution in the development of the country and society. Ability to read and write and attaining degree is not the only aim of education. The transformation of society due to their participation is more important, he added.
