Bhubaneswar: Another feather was added to Dr Achyuta Samanta’s cap on Wednesday when he was conferred the honorary Doctorate of Science degree by Jaipur’s JV Women’s University at their 14th convocation ceremony.
This marks the 57th honorary doctorate degree for Odisha’s eminent educationist and social reformer. However, it’s the first time that he has received such an honour from a women’s university.
Dr Samanta attended the event virtually, while his representative received the honour at the convocation, where retired IPS officer and former Puducherry Lt Governor Dr Kiran Bedi was chief guest.
Expressing his gratitude to the university, Dr Samanta dedicated the award to his mother Nilimarani, and all women faculties and women administrative staff of KISS and KIIT.
