Contributions to society in which we live is as important as studies during college days. This was proven by three medal winners - the list of which was released by the controller of examinations on Wednesday.
This year, the Chancellor’s Gold Medal will be awarded to BA Ancient Indian History four-year programme student, Arindam Chaturvedi, 22. The Chancellor’s medal is awarded to the best student in all faculties.
“I have always tried having a balance between the academic and co-curricular activities. Apart from being good in academics, I write poems and essays to create social awareness. I have also cleared my NET-JRF with All India Rank 1 in Ancient Indian History. Over 19 of my research papers have been accepted by journals of National and International repute - among these eight have been published. I wish to contribute to Academia through subjects of my interest. Last year, I received the DN Majumdar Memorial Gold Medal, awarded to a successful student who secured highest marks in the BA (1-6 semester) having offered Anthropology as one of the subjects,” said Chaturvedi.
