EXPERT COMMITTEE SUGGESTS SPLITTING BANGALORE UNIVERSITY INTO
FIVE 06.03.14
A committee to look into the functioning of Bangalore University has suggested splitting
university into five different universities, Bangalore South, North, East, West and Central.
The expert committee consisting of Manipal Global Education Chairman T V Mohandas
Pai, former vice-chancellors Dr N Rudraiah, Prof N R Shetty, educationists R Natarajan,
KRS Murthy, K Narahari and the principal of University Visveswaraya College of
Engineering (UVCE), Dr K R Venugopal, who is also the special officer has submitted its
report to the Karnataka government. Reportedly, the report makes three major
recommendations -- to split Bangalore University into five, to upgrade UVCE as a centre
of excellence on par with Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and Bangalore University
to focus only on research and development. Prof N R Shetty, former VC of Bangalore
University, who was on the committee said, “Considering the huge number of colleges
affiliated to Bangalore University and the availability of funds through Rashtriya
Ucchathar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) for creation of new universities, we have
recommended that five, including Bangalore University, be carved out of the existing
university.” As per the report, BU has 614 affiliated colleges and, under the RUSA
scheme, there is an option for states to create one university with 100 colleges. “As far
as funds are concerned, it will not be a burden on the State government since the RUSA
scheme proposed by MHRD will provide funds for the newly created universities based
on the quality of education,” Shetty said. “There is a need to improve research and
technology under Bangalore University. With such a high number of affiliated colleges, it
won’t be possible to concentrate on research activities,” he added, reported New Indian
Express.
