Education is an abode to create human resources: Veerappa Moily
Renovated Ravindra Kalabhavan of Mangaluru University College inaugurated
Mangaluru, Feb 26: Former union minister and Lok Sabha Member Dr M Veerappa Moily said that education was not just to get degree certificates, but it was an abode to create human resources.
Inaugurating a renovated Ravindra Kala Bhavan complex, with a financial assistance from the University Grants Commission, at the Mangaluru University College on Tuesday, Moily said that the colleges were the places of inspiration to tap hidden talents among students and to make impossible into possible through various research works. The College has been playing a major role in encouraging the students through various creative forms and he was also an example for it, Moily said recalling his days in the college as alumni.
The college which has more than 150 years of history, would require additional Rs 1.14 crore and if the proper project report was prepared, he would ensure the funds, he assured.
Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that Dr Veerappa Moily has proved that irrespective of his position and status, he contributed for the development of the college where he had studied.
City Corporation Mayor Bhaskar K, Chief Minister’s parliamentary secretary Ivan D’Souza, Mangaluru University registrar Prof AM Khan, Alumni Association president Dharmanna Nayak, College Principal Dr Uday Kumar and others were present.
From 0% to 95 %
“When I was the education minister, I wanted to visit the college where I have studied. But vice chancellor Dr Savadatti had brought me with lot of reservations. The situation in the college was like after the war situation. Tables and desks were scattered. I was shocked to see that situation. But I suggested to make the college as university college. But my suggestion had received much opposition in the beginning. The result was 0%. But since March 6, 1993, new era has begun in the college which is getting 95 % results now”, said Dr M. Veerappa Moily.
Inauguration for second time!
The renovated Ravindra Kala Bhavan was inaugurated on June 2, 2018 earlier. Today, it was inaugurated for the second time. In 1922, Nobel award winning poet Rabindranath Tagore had visited the college which is considered as the historical monument by the Archeological Department.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
