The vice chancellor, Prof A K Singh, along with senior faculty members cut a cake in the presence of students and teachers to mark the occasion. He exhorted the students and faculty members to strive towards maintaining the high standards of academic excellence at the university which was earlier known as the 'Oxford of the East'.
He then visited the department of Fine Arts to have a look at the 125 feet long painting prepared by undergraduate students of the department. The VC lauded the efforts of the students who worked round-the-clock to achieve this feat.
Speaking on the occasion, HOD, Fine Arts, Dr Ajay Jaitley said the year holds special significance for the department in light of the fact it is also starting the Masters of Fine Arts course for students this year. The 125 foot long painting would be kept at the department for viewing by students and teachers, he said.
Later in the day, a variety of cultural programmes were organised at the music department where the performances by students were much appreciated.
