On Tuesday, the President will address the 19th Annual Convocation of the University of Kashmir in Srinagar.
 
He will return to Delhi on Wednesday morning.
 
Kargil Vijay Diwas is marked on July 26 every year to commemorate the anniversary of the Indian Army's victory against Pakistan in 1999.
 
The armed conflict continued for more than 60 days at Kargil in Ladakh.
