Ram Baran Yadav says it’s a homecoming for him, cracks jokes about his student days, says ‘I and all PGI alumni are proud of this Institute’s global reputation’
When Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav stood up to speak at the convocation of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, (PGIMER), Chandigarh, every one in the auditorium was keenly listening. He began with “Namastey” amid applauds and soon became nostalgic about the city and the Institute, of which he was a student 25 years ago. “I am happy to be in the city beautiful and PGIMER,” he said while addressing the convocation. “I still remember when I was here as a student. It was a very good time. It is a homecoming for me.”
Yadav cracked jokes about his studying days at PGIMER and Nepal, much to the delight of the audience. He said that when he was admitted to the post-graduate course at PGIMER, a few teachers even lovingly taunted him at times.
“But I must say that these teachers taught me the lessons and it is because of them that I was a good doctor,” he said while naming a few of his teachers. “When I was admitted to PGIMER, my teacher told me who had referred me here,” he said amid the cheers.
Earlier the PGIMER Director congratulated Yadav, saying that it was also his birthday today. But when Yadav spoke, he informed that his date of birth was forged back in Nepal. The Nepal President shared many of his memories with the audience in the form of anecdotes and was all praise for PGIMER in his convocation speech. “I and all alumni of PGIMER are proud of the reputation of the Institute at the global level,” he said.
