Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was conferred with Honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree at the seventeenth convocation of the Adani Institute of Higher Education and Research in Sawangi, Wardha. This marked the first convocation ceremony held since the institution was renamed from the Datta Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research (DMIHER).
Presided over by Chancellor
Dr. Priti Adani, the event featured an address by Fadnavis where he emphasized that true success is measured by societal contribution rather than financial gain. He also shared a light-hearted remark expressing relief at skipping the rigorous research scholar process required for a traditional PhD.
The ceremony included Dr. Priti Adani honoring the legacy of the late Shri Datta Meghe for his foundational contributions to education and healthcare. Additionally, National Medical Commission Chairperson Dr. Abhijat Sheth was conferred an Honorary Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) for his contributions to public health and medical governance.
The accredited university awarded 2,320 degrees and numerous medals across ten faculties. A standout highlight of the honors was Poojal Devidas Mapari receiving 23 medals for academic excellence.
