Kasargod, Jan 6: The central government has been focusing more on ensuring quality in education, said union minister for HRD Pallam Raju.

On the occasion, Shashi Tharoor, assistant minister for HRD released the master plan of the central university. The university is being constructed on 310 acres of land.

Vice-chancellor Dr Jancy James welcomed the gathering while registrar Dr Abdur Rasheed delivered the vote of thanks.

    What a great service to the people of Kasargod this will be!We can now look forward to good quality secular education in our hometown now, and wont have to rely on CDs from abroad to motivate our people to study.Tharoorji is a motivation to most youth of India as he runs his ministry via Twitter,such a genius!A medical college will be a boon for our local populace,specially those based in the interior or places like Thalangara,as affordable care can be provided to every single one of the dozens of children in each famly there.

    For the success of this institution, first and foremost, student unions should be banned here. Otherwise there will be more strikes than class days and students will destroy all the fittings and instruments during these strikes.

    Wonderful news for the residents of Kasargod. I am thankful to the UPA sarcar for gracing us with such a masterful plan. The highly acclaimed guests on stage have also done a great deed by visiting Kasargod and raising the profile of this otherwise neglected town. With this new planned central university, the highly talented youths of Thalangara and Naimarmoola now dont have to visit towns like Binori and Muridke to get their training. Many thanks to Soniaji and Shindeji for providing this training closer to home.
    Finally thanks to Tharoorji for visiting Kasargod, we have always been great fans of his pompous gassing

    This is good news for Kasaragod! This being the most backward & neglected place in Kerala & no importance being attached due to native people affinity to Mangalore & Karnataka. Hope the medical college & Hospital will aid the locals in curing rather than rushing them to exhorbitant hospitals in Mangalore / Manipal. Good show by OOMMEN CHANDY
