The Higher Education Department has issued an order permitting government arts and science colleges to increase their intake by 25% this year. The decision followed a representation from the Director of Collegiate Education that during the academic year 2021-2022 more candidates had applied for admission. The government, in an order, said colleges could increase their intake by 25%, depending on the demand for the courses. For science programmes, colleges may increase the intake based on the laboratory facilities they are able to provide, the G.O. said. Last year, the government permitted the colleges to increase intake by 20% following a similar request from government colleges.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
