The Legislative Council took up the matter of not distributing gold medals to the meritorious students in the recently-held Convocation of Bangalore University (BU), yesterday.
The Opposition took a dig at the State Government stating the BU students were being mislead by giving them gold-coated medals. Higher Education Minister Basavaraja Rayareddy mentioned that the University awarded 203 gold medals every year and each medal was made of 20 gram silver and was coated with 1.3 gram gold.
