Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today turned nostalgic after visiting Panjab University's department of economics in Chandigarh, recalling his journey there as a student and later as a senior lecturer.

After delivering the first S B Rangnekar memorial lecture on 'The Seventieth Anniversary of our Independence - Strengthening the roots of our Democracy', Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur visited the economics department.

He interacted with students and faculty members there.

When students asked how Singh felt, Upinder Sawhney, the chairperson of the department, said: "The former PM smiled and said 'very good' and 'I am nostalgic'."
