Prime Minister Narendra Modi is again expected to visit lucknow on February 10 to attend the second convocation function of Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University.
Official sources said here on Sunday that earlier PMO had confirmed on the participation of Modi in the convocation and now they have confirmed February 10 as the D-day.
The lucknow district authorities have started gearing up for the proposed visit of PM. As the Shakuntala Mishra National Rehabilitation university is on Hardoi road on the outskirts of the state capital, so there would be no such problem for the local people on the day.
Modi had visited lucknow on January 22 when he attended the convocation of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, distributed e-rickshaws and paid homage to the urn of Dr Ambedkar at the Ambedkar Mahasabha. On the same day PM also visited his parliamentary constituency Varanasi where he distributed equipements to over 9000 divyangs and flagged off the Mahamana express train between Varanasi and New Delhi.
University's Vice-Chancellor Nisith Rai said here that the convocation programme would be webcast in the entire country and a special App would be launched for the programme.
The invitation for the convocation would be also printed in braile along with english and hindi.
The dress for the students during the convocation has also been changed to black pant, white shirt and black coat along with maroon Angvastra for the boys and for the girls it would be white salwar suit along with Maroon Angvastra.
The VVIPs would wear maroon angvastra along with a pagdi while other guests would wear just maroon angvastra.
