Washington: Scores of Indian students in the US attended a virtual graduation ceremony recently organised by the Embassy of India Student Hub in view of the corona pandemic.
This virtual event was held to recognise the accomplishments of the students and boost their morale during the corona crisis.
While addressing the students, India’s Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu said, “These unprecedented times are also times of unprecedented opportunities. Innovation is a part of the journey ahead and you will be the pioneers who shape the world.”
On the occasion, eminent personalities like singer and entrepreneur Lalitya Munshaw, actress Gautami Tadimalla, tabla maestro Pt Divyang Vakil, former director of AIIMS P Venugopal, IPS officer and mountaineer Aparna Kumar, and Mahatma Gandhi’s granddaughter and peace activist Ela Gandhi sent messages of hope and inspiration to the graduating students.
This year, the in-person graduation ceremonies across the United States have been cancelled due to the pandemic.
