The University realised the need of giving its affiliations to the private sector, bearing in mind growing interest among students to pursue higher degrees in agriculture and forestry. The university wants to address this situation, according to the vice chancellor. University Registrar Manaraj Kolakshapati defending vice chancellor said the University move was protested for no cause at all.
The University officials have no personal and connections to those colleges which were awarded the affiliations through a process for meeting all required criteria which also includes physical infrastructure, he added.
It may be noted that students and University teachers have been agitated by the decision to grant affiliations to the private colleges and have demanded its withdrawal. RSS
