TISS Replaces CJI as Chief Guest Amid Protest Fears, Reschedules Convocation
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has replaced Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant as the chief guest for its 86th convocation. The event, originally scheduled for August 22, was rescheduled due to 'protest fears' and an invitation row. Dr. C.S. Pramesh, Director of Tata Memorial Hospital, has been named the new chief guest for the rescheduled convocation. The original ceremony was cancelled shortly before its scheduled date, reportedly causing financial losses to attendees.
