MANAGING DIRECTOR of TVS Venu Srinivasan addressed the 10th annual convocation of M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Management (MSRIM).

He reminded the students that learning is a life-long process. India should not remain complacent but capitalise further on their (students) entrepreneurial skills, he added.

BU decision

WHILE THE heated debate over reservations in educational institutions continue, Bangalore University authorities have decided to act tough with affiliated colleges not following the University Grants Commission and university norms in admitting students belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories.

To make sure the reservation quota is filled according to guidelines, students coming under the reserved category have been asked to send a copy of their applications to the university, which will direct the affiliated colleges to follow the norms strictly and allot seats according to the rules.

The application copies have to be sent to the Special Officer, SC/ST Cell, Jnana Bharathi, Bangalore University, Bangalore-560056.

Alternative medicine

WITH GROWING demand for alternative systems of medicine, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences has decided to start a five-and-half year programme in Naturopathy and Yoga from 2006-07 with 25 seats.

This drugless therapy is considered effective and is preferred by many because there are no side effects.

For details, candidates can contact Director, AYUSH, Dhanvanthri Road, Bangalore 560 009.

THE UNIVERSITY SC/ST Cell in collaboration with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhavan will conduct special coaching classes for KAS examination (preliminary) from July 19 to August 18.
