Gurugram university honours International students

Gurugram, July 6

GD Goenka University honoured international students during a special convocation here on Friday. As many as 94 international students from 18 countries have graduated from the university this year.

Vice-Chancellor Kim Menezes congratulated the students on the occasion.

Earlier, she welcomed IFS Puneet Roy Kundal, who is the Additional Secretary, Eastern and Southern Africa Division, Ministry of External Affairs. He attended the convocation as chief guest.

Highlighting the strategic relationship between India and Africa in education, Kundal said, “In line with the Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, your presence here reflects India’s commitment to acceptance and openness towards welcoming people from other countries.”

“We have more than 23,000 students from Africa who studied in India, including many African leaders today, and I see no reason why this gathering here will not be in that role in another 15 to 20 years from today,” he added.
