APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) has decided to appoint Dharmaraj Adat, former Vice-Chancellor of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, as its first Ombudsman.
The decision adopted by the Syndicate on Monday paves the way for KTU to become the first university in Kerala to comply with the norm laid down by both the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
The Syndicate also resolved to organise monthly adalats for addressing students’ grievances. The adalat will be held on the first Thursday afternoon every month.
