Jamia Millia Islamia University (JMIU) has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi at its annual convocation this year as a chief guest.

Jamia Millia Islamia Vice-Chancellor said, "We are looking forward to hosting Prime Minister Narendra Modi at our university. We had extended an invitation to him earlier this month but have not received any communication from the PMO so far."

According to Varasity officials, the date of the convocation will be decided after PM's availability is confirmed. Last year President Pranab Mukherjee was invited and this year we decided to extend an invitation to the prime minister.
