When Raghuram Rajan visited his alma mater DPS RK Puram

RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan on January 23, 2014 visited his alma mater DPS RK Puram, New Delhi and recalled his experience as a student.

Rajan was given a rousing reception by students, their parents and teachers.

Addressing the students, Rajan said it took quite an effort for his parents to get him admitted to the school in 1974, but he passed out as a better person. Rajan wears a blazer presented to him by the school administration.

There was a time, he said, when he did not have a blazer and used to go to school in sweater.

Rajan also recalled the days when he was part of the orchestra in school. "I used to play banjo. I wasn't good at music and I used to be able to do the slow stuff. But when it got fast, I would play randomly and for many years, I got away," Rajan said.
