NIT Kurukshetra, one of India’s premier engineering institutions, is preparing to hold its 20th Convocation with great enthusiasm. The presence of the Vice-President adds prestige to the ceremony, which will witness the graduation of hundreds of students from various engineering and research disciplines. Convocations at NIT Kurukshetra often highlight academic excellence, new innovations, and achievements in national and global research benchmarks.
The Vice-President’s address at the event is expected to focus on the role of technological education in shaping India’s future, the importance of innovation-driven learning, and the responsibilities of young graduates entering a rapidly evolving global economy. His visit underlines the government’s support toward strengthening higher education institutions and promoting skilled human capital.
Participation at Akhil Bhartiya Devsthanam Sammelan
Following the convocation ceremony, Shri Radhakrishnan will attend the Akhil Bhartiya Devsthanam Sammelan as the Chief Guest. This national-level gathering brings together scholars, temple administrators, cultural experts, and spiritual leaders from across the country. The Sammelan aims to discuss the preservation of cultural heritage, temple management practices, and India’s spiritual identity.
The event is being held on the sidelines of the internationally recognised Gita Mahotsav a grand celebration based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, organised annually in the historic city of Kurukshetra. The Mahotsav attracts devotees, visitors, and cultural enthusiasts from India and abroad, making it a major cultural festival on the global calendar.
Kurukshetra: A Blend of Heritage, Knowledge, and Spirituality
Kurukshetra’s significance extends beyond mythology. As the legendary land of the Mahabharata, it is deeply rooted in India’s spiritual ethos. Over the years, the city has also emerged as a hub for academic institutions, heritage research, and tourism-driven economic activities. Events such as the International Gita Mahotsav serve as major cultural bridges connecting tradition with contemporary India.
The Vice-President’s visit reinforces Kurukshetra’s importance as a centre where education, spirituality, and culture converge. The dual engagement at NIT Kurukshetra and the Devsthanam Sammelan positions the city as both an educational powerhouse and a cultural destination.
A Visit with National Significance
This visit is expected to draw attention from academic communities, cultural organisations, and administrative bodies across the nation. It also places NIT Kurukshetra and the International Gita Mahotsav in the national spotlight. The Vice-President’s presence at these events showcases the government’s commitment to promoting both technological education and India’s rich cultural traditions.
