In a unique step, Kannur University (KU) has decided to provide higher education to students who are unable to pursue their education in the wake of ethnic strife in Manipur. This is the first time in the country that a university has come up with special seats for Manipur students.
Speaking at a press conference here on Monday, KU Vice-Chancellor Gopinath Ravindran said the decision has been taken at a Syndicate meeting held at the university. The Syndicate approved the resolution which was presented by member N. Sukunya.
Mr. Ravindran said separate seats will be allotted for this purpose. Such a decision was made considering the applications received from student organisations of Manipur.
