Sanskrit varsity regional centre to come up at Thuravoor


Staff Reporter
A regional centre of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady will be established at Thuravoor near here. A plot of six acres will be bought for the purpose.
A decision to this effect was taken at the meeting convened by District Collector N. Padmakumar on Saturday.
It was also agreed upon that amount required for acquiring the land would be sanctioned from the asset development fund of Aroor MLA A.M. Ariff.
A final decision on the identified plots would be made after a joint inspection by Mr. Padmakumar, Mr. Ariff and the management of the centre. At the meeting, Sanskrit University Vice Chancellor M.C. Dileep Kumar said the proposed campus was expected to include an academic block, library, hostel and a ground.
The facility could also be upgraded to a research centre at a later stage.
Besides Central and State funds, the assistances of the University Grants Commission (UGC) would also be utilised for constructing the facility, the Vice Chancellor added.
A sub-centre of the varsity has been functioning at a building of the Thuravoor grama panchayat since 1997. Among the courses that were offered were Master of Social Work (MSW) and other postgraduate courses in Hindi and Malayalam.
Deputy Collector R. Santhosh, District Information Officer K.R. Pramod Kumar and Thuravoor Mahakshetram Bhakthajana Samithy president T.G. Padmanabhan Nair also participated in the discussion.
