MANGALORE, JAN. 30. Though the Common Entrance Test (CET) was introduced in 1993 during the tenure of M. Veerappa Moily as the Chief Minister, the "apathy" of subsequent governments to give the CET a legal framework has affected thousands of students, according to a group of policy makers, who will voice their concern in this regard at "Jagruta Samavesha" to be held in Bangalore on Monday.

Credit flow

The samavesha will also discuss issues concerning those living in rural areas, credit flow to agriculture and rural sector, rural infrastructure and the rise of unemployment among the urban youth.
