Odisha: Rama Devi Women's University is all set to welcome President Droupadi Murmu for its second convocation ceremony on 10 February in the Odisha capital during her two-day visit to the state.

 Aparajita Choudhary, Vice Chancellor of Rama Devi Women's University said, "Our university family is all set to welcome President Droupadi Murmu for the second convocation of the Rama Devi Women's University on 10 February. We have been in regular touch with Odisha's governor office."

"While the convocation ceremony, Madam President will confer gold medals to 22 students, and hand over PhD degrees to two students of the university. President Murmu also will felicitate the Honoris Causa award to four renowned women of the state for their noble cause," Choudhary said.

A student of Rama Devi Women's University expressed her happiness on President Murmu's visit and said, "It's a proud moment for us to hear President of India Droupadi Murmu during the second convocation ceremony on 10 February here."

"She was from a poor family but with her determination towards study she secured the highest constitutional post in India and became President. She is our inspiration," a Rama Devi Women's University student said.

However, it was the President herself, who had earlier evinced interest in attending the convocation of her alma mater and wrote to the Governor and Chancellor of the University, Ganeshi Lal, expressing her willingness for the same.

After assuming the office, this will be the second visit of Murmu to Odisha and she will reach Bhubaneswar on 10 February. Earlier in November 2022 also President Murmu had visited Odisha. (ANI)
