The President will then be flown in a chopper to Raiwala from where he will proceed by road to Haridwar’s Dev Sanskriti Vishwa Vidyalaya to address the convocation.
He will return to Dehradun for lunch at the Raj Bhawan before leaving for Delhi at 4.35 pm, Khan said.
The newly painted DSVV campus looks all decked up to host the event being held after a gap of several years.
A water- and fire-proof pandal with a capacity to accommodate 5,000 visitors has been set up on the campus where the convocation is to be held.
Tight security arrangements have been made both in Dehradun and Haridwar to ensure a smooth visit for the President.
