Jaipur /New Delhi, June 2, 2018: Adding yet more numbers of healthcare, rural and pharmaceutical managers and public health researchers to an under-supplied industry, IIHMR University held its 4th annual convocation to award degrees to new graduates and post graduates. Lauding the students for their chosen vocation was the Minister of Higher Education of the Government of Rajasthan, Kiran Maheshwari. The high profile event was attended by more than 200 students, parents, and faculty members. Also present was Prof. Furqan Qamar, Secretary General, Association of Indian Universities (AIU) who received several cheers for his inspiring stories from graduating students.
