The gowns of disgrace! JU Convocation 11/12/2014 12:06:30 AM Abodh Sharma Early Times Report JAMMU, Nov 11: The meritorious students and scholars of the University of Jammu who are to be honouerd during the special convocation scheduled to be held on Friday are facing disgrace at the hands of insensitive and indifferent officers of the University on trivial pretexts. Sources informed ET that the students who were to be honoured during the convocation were summoned in the administrative block of the university today at 5 PM to disburse their academic gowns which they would wear during the convocation; however, when these students assembled outside the administrative block, they were made to wait for an hour and a half, only to be told that they would not be given their gowns today. While the incident irked the students, most of them now alumni of the university, they were particularly annoyed by the insensitivity of the university staff. "This convocation has been rescheduled twice and I had to face inconvenience of re-scheduling my visit to Jammu as I now stay in UK," said an alumnus of the University. "I'm particularly hurt by the insensitivity of the JU Asstt Registrar who gave us a cold shoulder and dampened the spirits which made me fly from London for this honour," she added. Meanwhile, these students and alumni then met the special secretary to the VC JK Sharma, who intervened in the matter and got the academic gowns issued to them. The incident has once again brought to the fore the inconsiderate behaviour of the JU babudom towards students, scholars and even the alumni.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
