Mangalore University Narayana Guru study chair - No work done since foundation


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Sep 24: It has been eight months since the foundation stone was laid for Brahmashree Narayana Guru study chair at Mangalore University (MU) but it is disheartening to note that even the basic works have not begun.

The state government had announced on November 18, 2013, about the setting up of Brahmashree Narayana Guru study chair at the MU. The then chief minister, Siddarmaaiah had given official initiation to the chair on January 19, 2017. The then Rajya Sabha member, B K Hariprasad had earmarked a grant of Rs 50 lac for the chair. Plan to construct a building at a cost of five crore rupees was made. Foundation stone for the building was laid on January 12 this year. The building is scheduled to have a seminar hall, Jnana Mandir, library, museum, research department, stage to exhibit art, office, and facilities to encourage study. Santhosh Kumar had designed the building.

Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister, Kota Srinivas Poojary had promised to release a grant of one crore rupees from the government immediately. The vice-chancellor expecting help from donors had expressed the confidence that the building would be completed in two years. But by the time the e-tender process reached the final stage, coronavirus infection set foot in the country. The university planned to start the work by utilizing the current fund of Rs 50 lac, but the syndicate meeting this month was postponed.

MLA, U T Khader said that he will draw the attention of the government to this issue in the current session. He said that he would give five lac rupees for the building if the local area development grant remaining balance is released.

Vice-chancellor, Prof P S Yadapadithaya said that out of Rs 50 lac promised by B K Hariprasad, Rs 35 lac had been received. He said work will begin next month and a total grant of three crore rupees would be needed to complete the work.

Muddu Moodubelle, director of the study chair noted that there are a large number of followers of Narayana guru and once the building comes up it will pave way for higher study and research about the spiritual guide and reformer, Sri Narayana Guru.

    No wonder, one of the lecturers said he was happy working in the University - no work, all pay. Of course, India will become a superpower with such institutions. Even the worst of the world's nations will overtake us in our lifetime.

    What about other Chairs ??

    All chairs are same. Earlier research is limited to science. Now research is a very funny thing. Most of the research is to get Professorship or better scale. Nothing else.

    Pachhanady dumping yard is the best place to do research. In spite of lot of research scholars in Mangalore University and self proclaimed universities, Pachhanady remains a big secret.

    When so much work is left to do, why are the BD goons so keen in naming a circle somewhere else ? Why can't they involve themselves in going door to door to collect funds for the building ? Once funds are collected, they should start offering Kar-Seva to build the project.

    Be productive young men, don't waste your energy. Do not create conflict, contribute for harmony between communities - not hatred.
