Mangalore University vice-chancellor T C Shivashankaramurthy said if education system becomes corrupt, the whole generation will be destroyed, so teachers should render their duty efficiently.

Speaking at the 63rd annual day celebrations of Field Marshal K M Cariappa College here on Saturday, he said if engineers, doctors become corrupt people face hardships.
However, if the education system becomes corrupt, it will affect a whole generation. He called upon the old students to work towards the betterment of the college.

“The PG Centre of Mangalore University at Chikkaluvara will be completed by 2013. The work on hostels, staff quarters and other basic facilities are under progress. The PG Centre now has 70 acres of land. There is 50 acres of vacant land adjacent to it.

If the government hands over the additional 50 acres of land, a beautiful campus can be built within 10 years,” he said.

MLC M C Nanaiah said several universities are known for corruption, scams and groupism.
However, Mangalore University stands apart. Education institutions should be built without bringing caste, religion or politics into it.

The vice-chancellor should initiate action against the teachers who indulge in groupism, he said.

Retired principal Pushpa Kuttanna, Sridhar Hegde, M R Charita, hockey player Ponnamma were felicitated. Principal K A Erappa, university registrar K Chinnappa Gowda and others were present.
