Uttar Pradesh Governor and Chancellor of the university, B L Joshi gave the honorary degree to Sreedharan, who is popularly known as 'Metroman'.
Speaking on the occasion, Sreedharan said, "Technical education should not be merely a mean to get into a job, but should equip and mould students as true nation builders."
