This is the governor's first visit to the University since becoming Chancellor

On her maiden visit to Jamia Millia Islamia University after taking charge as its chancellor, Manipur Governor Najma Heptulla, will unfurl a national flag hoisted on a 102-foot-high pole near the entrance of the vice-chancellor's office on June 19. She will also unveil the 'Wall of Heroes' in the Dr. Zakir Husain Library. The wall would display the photographs of the 21 Param Vir Chakra recipients, the country's highest military decoration.

"The photographs of the soldiers have been put up right next to the wall displaying the photographs of the founders of the nearly century-old university," a release from the University quoted the Vice-Chancellor, Talat Ahmad, as saying. A resolution to install the national flag in educational institutions was adopted on February 18, 2016, at a meeting chaired by then HRD minister Smriti Irani, with an aim to "instill nationalism and pride" in students.

"The national flag signifies a strong India and inspires patriotism, unity and integrity," stated the release.
The 'Wall of Heroes' was an initiative under the 'Vidya Veerta Abhiyan' campaign of the HRD Ministry, it added. Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Delhi University (DU) have also recently unveiled the 'Wall of Heroes' on their campuses.
