Historic moment for us: VC Dr Yeole

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “Our university is working to bring first-generation graduates and students from very hardworking, underprivileged, farming families into the mainstream of education,” said Dr Pramod Yeole, the vice chancellor of Dr Babsaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) while delivering an introductory speech in Padma awardees felicitation programme organised at the main auditorium of Bamu on Saturday evening.

He said that today’s inauguration of the renovated gate of Bamu by former President Ram Nath Kovind is a historic moment for all of us.
