No DLitt to Gulzar as Centre’s nod awaited

The Allahabad University will not be able to confer the honorary degree of DLitt on noted lyricist Gulzar on Nov 8 as the Union ministry of education has not communicated its approval for it. The decision to confer an honorary degree to Gulzar was taken by the varsity’s Academic Council and the Executive Council. Following this, a proposal was prepared and sent to the Union ministry of education.
