    MAHE is closed down for a week. One week off for the students from 14th to 20th March, 2020. However, the faculty and non-teaching staff including interns and PG students of medical and allied health programs have to report for duty. Just have to wait and watch. A full shutdown should have been enforced excluding essential services like the hospital.

    The latest is that the holidays for student is extended till 28th. Almost all Hostelers have already left for their hometowns. It is also heard that test reports of all 3 students admitted are negative. MAHE is requested to arrange for online lectures and assignments for students and seek the completed assignments from student in defined time frame as is being practiced during routene classes... This will ensure that students will remain engaged in study during holidays and and if all goes well, they can appear for their exams on time.

    The whole machinery was sleeping till yesterday and knee jerk reactions started today. A mega music entertainment function was conducted by Corporation Bank yesterday with guests from across the country yesterday within a hospital complex whereas a small community function is banned within eight hours. Responses and reactions should be scaled up on a timescale.....!

    The MIV, manipal institute of virology has their testing licence revoked because someone put false accusations of mishandling of samples. They claimed that MIV was withholding samples and probably sending them elsewhere or whatever. Now MAHE can't get any foreign funding cause of this. What a loss to 1000s of people..MIV was probably the only legit good thing MAHE had that actually did something for society.
