The Chairman then requested Prof. S.C.Garg, Pro Vice-Chancellor to present the agenda:
ITEM NO.1
TO CONFIRM THE MINUTES OF THE 32 nd MEETING
OF THE ACADEMIC COUNCIL HELD ON 13.11.2004
AND TO NOTE THE ACTION TAKEN.
AC 33.1.1
Before the agenda was taken up for discussion, the Member-
Secretary, Prof. B.S.Saraswat informed that the comments
received from one of the members on Resolution no. 31.6.2 of
the Minutes of the 31 st Meeting of the Academic Council held
on 20.2.2004 were placed before the Academic Council at its
32 nd Meeting but the same were not reflected in the Minutes of
the 32 nd Meeting. The Member-Secretary regretted the
omission. He read out the comments and proposed that the
same may be taken on record:
“The Chairperson suggested that the Standing Committee of the
Academic Council be given authority to approve the award of
all degrees/diplomas at the Convocation henceforth, so that an
Academic Council’s meeting need not be called for this
purpose. The Council approved this recommendation”.
AC 33.1.2
The Academic Council adopted the proposal. The Resolution
31.6.2 after modification will read as follows:
“31.6.2: The Academic Council resolved that the Standing
Committee of the Academic Council be given authority to
approve the award of all degrees/diplomas at the Convocation,
henceforth, so that an Academic Council’s Meeting need not be
called for this purpose. The Academic Council further
approved the proposals for (i) the award of the degrees and
diplomas etc. to the 74,603 students at the 15 th Convocation of
the University and (ii) award of Gold Medals to the eligible
students under different programmes, and noted the decision of
award of the Degree of Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) to (i)
