MSU convocation: Gold medallists shine at V-C146;s residence

As a host, Prof Goyal showed a different side to his personality by welcoming the guests with a poem.

Continuing with the lighter mood, MSU Chancellor Mrunalini Devi Puar said, 8220;It is due to my grey hair that I have been asked to bless my students. My blessings are always with them. Always remember us in good and bad times.8221;

The evening saw a good number of gold medallists who were not only married, but also had kids. Suresh Baldania 45, who topped in the Management faculty, was one of them.

8220;While I stand and address, you might be thinking I am a parent of some student. In reality, I was a student of the Management faculty and work with the Gujarat State Fertiliser Corporation GSFC,8221; he said.

Baldania, who has a son, added: 8220;I could not get a chance to study since I was transferred to small units of GSFC. It was after I cleared the Gujarat State Eligibility Test two years ago did I get admission here.8221;
