I presided the function. In my presidential speech I urged to bring milestone projects for the welfare of people of this region. I suggested to establish a Science City which would be commensurate to academic reputation of Allahabad. I also suggested to establish an International Convention Center which is lacking in Allahabad. I repeated my continuing project to build an airport and connect Allahabad to major cities of India. It would be befitting to plan for an international airport at Allahabad. There was a general appreciation of these visions and manniya Maurya ji responded with posititive notes. About 10,000 students and guests were present.
