Chief minister also inaugurated online complaint redressal system which will enable students to file complaints online regarding any of their problems on the campus.

The function was held under tight police security as there were reportedly a few student leaders trying to create disturbances in the function.

The police had a tough time controlling the jostling students trying to find space at the venue.
