VTU students list their woes to Governor

By Our Special Correspondent

HUBLI Dec. 10. Having failed to get relief from the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), students affected by the introduction of the new syllabus have taken up their case with the Governor, T.N. Chaturvedi, who is also the Chancellor of the university.

A delegation, led by ABVP activists went to Raj Bhavan on Tuesday as part of their "Raj Bhavan Chalo" programme and submitted a memorandum.

The All-Karnataka Engineering Students' Action Committee formed under the banner of the ABVP, chose to take the issue to the Governor after its talks with the Vice-Chancellor in the last week of November failed to break the impasse.

The action committee and the VTU are at loggerheads over what has come to be known as the "merger versus mobility syndrome", in regard with students facing the prospect of detention and becoming eligible for going to the higher class.

The VTU is firmly in favour of merger and wants the detained students, who become eligible to go higher class, to pursue the course with the new syllabus. But the students are against it.
