Posthumous degree for student

Vice-chancellor of the Devi Ahalyabai University here, Dr Bharat Chhaparwal told PTI here today that Yadav had passed graduation in second division.

The soldier, who made the supreme sacrifice, was cremated at his native village in Dhudhariakhedi in Khargaon district with full milltary honours last Wednesday.

Chhaparwal said he would personally hand over the degree to the bereaved family. The executive committee of the university has decided to introduce a gold medal in memory of Yadav to be awarded to a deserving student every year.
