THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A national-level march, led by Students' Federation of India (SFI) general secretary K.K. Ragesh, will enter Kerala on Saturday at Thalappady in Kasaragod district.

The march will be accorded a reception by SFI State unit with a student rally and pageant.

The march, which seeks to spread the message of social justice, universal education and intellectual property rights, was inaugurated by historian K. N. Panikker at Bangalore on November 4.

It has so far covered Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Chattisgarh and Maharashtra. About a crore signatures have been collected from students by the marchers in support of a memorandum to be submitted to the Prime Minister at the end of the march.

The march will conclude here on December 13. Members of the march, apart from Mr. Ragesh, include SFI national leaders P.K. Biju, Albina Shakeel, Rajasekhara Moorthy, Harikishore, G. Selvam and Vanitha.
