"The Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University has nurtured the Indian education tradition like River Rapti for the past several decades, and wherever I go in the world I am identified as a student of the Gorakhpur University," Singh said in his virtual address to the first alumni meet of the varsity.
"The distinguished alumni award conferred on me by the varsity is like 'prasaad' to me. During six years of my student life in the university, I actively participated in students’ union politics," Singh said, adding that an alumni meet is an ideal stage, where one gets the opportunity to meet their teachers and friends.
After Independence, (the then Chief Minister of UP) Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant had laid the foundation of the university and Mahant Digvijay Nath donated two colleges and later Gorakhpur University was named after Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhayay, he said.
