Lucknow University has decided to webcast live its 56th convocation to be held on January 9. Those who cannot attend the convocation ceremony in person can see it live via university's website ( http://www.lkouniv.ac.in/) . Though the university is 91 years old, the tradition of holding convocation began late and this year, it's the 56th convocation.
Vice President Hamid Ansari will deliver the convocation address and chief minister Akhilesh Yadav will be the chief guest. Governor BL Joshi, who is also the chancellor of state universities will also grace the function. In addition, former director general, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), RA Mashelkar has also given his consent to attend the function.
University proctor Manoj Dixit confirmed that the university will webcast the convocation live. Viewers will need high speed Internet connectivity to watch it live. Besides, two LED panels will be put up on both sides to facilitate distance viewing.
The idea, said officials came from a former LU student who visited the university to set up LED screens. Teaching community has hailed the university's decision of going tech-savvy.
