298 NDA cadets of the 130th course awarded JNU degrees

In his convocation address, Sahasrabuddhe told the passing out cadets, “Degrees are awarded to many young men and women every year in all universities of India. In my opinion, your degrees are very special. These are not merely meant for getting jobs, but a certificate to protect the motherland. The technology in general is changing rapidly. Technology in the armed forces changes at an even faster rate.”
