The Gujarat University has been boasting its ‘notable alumni’ as PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for years now. However, all that glitters is not gold, as the Gujarat University Alumni Association (GUAA) has been inactive since 2016.
The GUAA was established in 2016, with the first and last activity done in the same year.
As per the website of GUAA, the latest activity held was on October 13, 2016.
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) recognises all the alumni activities and has 10 marks for it.
As per reports, Gujarat University did not apply for renewal of NAAC grade last year and the ‘oldest state university’ stands at a B+ grade.
Despite the university having projected notable alumni including PM Modi, HM Shah, and former Gujarat CM Anandi Patel, the alumni association of the university is sluggish.
Notably, former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has been subjected to a defamation case that emanates from statements made by AAP supremo and his party MP concerning Prime Minister Modi’s academic degree from the Gujarat University.
Recently, the Supreme Court on October 21 dismissed a plea filed by Kejriwal seeking the quashing of the summons order in the case.
