Mr Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, the Honourable Vice President of India, will be the chief guest at the occasion where the outgoing graduates of TISS will receive their diplomas, degrees, certificates and awards.
Mr Shekhawat has been Vice-President of India since August 2002, when he was elected to the five-year term by the electoral college following the death of his predecessor, Mr Krishan Kant. He was also a member of the National Democratic Alliance at the time of his election, and had served three times as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
TISS was set up in 1936 as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work. Now, it has earned recognition as an institute of repute from different ministries of the Government of India, various state governments, international agencies such as the United Nations, and the non-government sector -- both national and international.
