President Droupadi Murmu attended the first convocation ceremony of Mahatma Gandhi Central University in East Champaran district of Bihar on Thursday.

Governor Rajendra Arlekar and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar were also present at the ceremony held in Motihari, where East Champaran is headquartered.

Later, in the evening, she is scheduled to address the convocation ceremony of AIIMS-Patna.

At the Raj Bhavan, where the president is putting up, she is also scheduled to interact with members of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) of Bihar.

Murmu arrived in the state on Wednesday on a three-day tour, the first since she got elected to the top constitutional post last year.

Her Bihar tour will conclude on Friday with a visit to Gaya where she will grace the third convocation of Central University of South Bihar, an official statement said.

Security has been beefed up across the state in view of Murmu's visit.
