During the evening the Chevening scholarship recipients learned more about British life style, the education system and what to expect during a year-long adventure in the UK. Members of the Chevening alumni group from previous years were also invited to the evening to share their UK experiences and give advice to the outgoing scholars. Ambassador Sanjay Wadvani then presented this year’s scholarship recipients with specially prepared certificates. Scholars afterwards commented that they welcomed the chance to have an informal chat with previous scholars to learn about their experiences.
