Food Controversy at Nilamber Pitamber University's Upcoming Convocation: Students Demand Equal Treatment
Daltonganj: Food fuss hits the upcoming third convocation ceremony of Nilamber Pitamber University, scheduled for October 6 in Daltonganj.
The university has planned to offer food packets worth Rs 55 each for a gathering of 2,000 invitees, students, and others. The food packet comprises fried delicacies along with sweets. A bottle of water is a complimentary offer with the food packet.
For the VVIPs, such as the Chancellor, MPs, ministers, secretaries, etc., the university is engaging a posh hotel to provide food on the day of the convocation. However, some student bodies have begun to raise concerns about the 'meagre quantity' of the food packet for the masses while costly plates are provided for the VVIPs.
Vice Chancellor of Nilamber Pitamber University, Dinesh Kumar Singh, said, “There is a food committee for the convocation. It's taking the final call. We have Rs 55 worth of packets for 2,000 people each, while for the VVIPs, the food committee is regularly in touch with the posh hotel for quality food and quality service. The cost of the plate for the VVIPs is yet to be finalised.
Officer on Special Duty, Exam Department, Gaurav Srivastav, said, "We are meeting this huge demand for pass certificates and degrees at breakneck speed."
"We ask our pass-outs to first apply for the vacancies, but they shouldn't forget about their convocation. Their presence will be highly appreciated," reminded the VC.
The Registrar of Nilamber Pitamber University, Dr Nafis Ahmad, said, "We are working in a coordinated manner with our different teams for the successful conduct of the convocation."
A gold medal has come for a little over Rs 4,000, which is the most notable price in times like this when the price of gold is skyrocketing.
"There will be a distribution of 77 gold medals, out of which 5 will be Chancellor's gold medals," the VC stated.
