New Delhi: Jamia
Millia Islamia Thursday honoured leading cardiology Ashok Seth
with Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) at the annual convocation
ceremony here.
Lt. Gen. (retd) M.A. Zaki, Chancellor of Jamia, presented the
honour to Seth, chairman of cardiovascular sciences and chief
cardiologist and chairman of cardiology council at the Fortis
Group of Hospitals.
"Science and technology have mesmerised us. We think we are
rational, whereas we can't create a single human cell... There is
a need to combine spirituality and science. We need to live for
humanity," said Seth, who performed one of the highest number of
angiographies and angioplasties in the world, and finds mention in
the Limca Book of Records.
The leading cardiologist was awarded the Padma Shri in 2003 for
his contribution in the field of cardiology.
In his address, Najeeb Jung, vice-chancellor of Jamia, said: "All
universities have to answer to their stake-holders in the present;
Jamia has the added challenge of living up to its past."
He described Jamia's endeavours on three fronts in the last few
years: diversifying its academic and disciplinary infrastructure,
expanding its student facilities and building its profile both in
the Indian public sphere and abroad.
As many as 4,179 students from various faculties and centres of
the university were awarded degrees and diplomas. PhD degrees were
awarded to 204 research scholars, while 147 gold medals were
awarded to toppers of various courses.
The video proceedings of the programme were webcast live on the
Jamia website www.jmi.ac.in, for the first time.
