Mother-daughter duo graduate with PhD together from same university
A mother-daughter duo recently created history by receiving their PhD degrees together at Delhi University and graduating on the same day.
56-year-old Mala Dutta and her 28-year-old daughter Shreya Mishra were just chasing their dreams of earning a doctoral degree when it occurred to them that they could do it together and even graduate on the same day.
Dutta set out to pursue her dream of holding a PhD degree and enrolled herself for PhD (in Finance) in 2012. Her daughter followed suit two years after by enrolling for a PhD degree in Psychology at the same university. Although they had different subjects, they worked hard together and Dutta supported her daughter in studying extra hard to finish in three years.
The duo was to receive the doctorate degree last year. But the convocation was scheduled on the next day of Shreya’s wedding. So there was no chance for them to attend the convocation and receive the degrees together.
However, they both bagged a PhD, making it a rare mother-daughter moment and showing that every human being regardless of age can achieve anything they set their mind to achieve.
