JAMMU — Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday described the first convocation of Cluster University of Jammu as a historic milestone in the institution’s journey and urged graduating students to view their degrees as a passport to lifelong learning rather than a finish line.

During the ceremony, degrees and diplomas were conferred upon students across various disciplines, while meritorious students were awarded gold medals in recognition of their academic achievements.
