âHe explained to the President that he was guiding a Ph.D student and that thesis was positively due by the last day of January.
âThe student was valiantly trying to wrap it all up and Raman felt, he had to be by the side of the research student, see that the thesis was finished, sign the thesis as the guide and then have it submitted,â Mr. Kalam said.
