The university auditorium has been named after "Bihar Kesari" Shri Krishna Singh. Other key locations will be named after Acharya Kripalani and Rashtrakavi Dinkar. "It is a matter of great pride for our university to be associated with these nation builders," said Prof. Rai, emphasizing that this initiative is a cornerstone of his vision to enrich the university's cultural and academic ethos.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rai highlighted that the convocation is not just a ceremony but a powerful symbol of a renewed focus on the university's core mission.
