Hundreds of old students of Shivamogga’s Sahyadri College, the oldest in the city and set up before Independence, have opposed the proposal to set up a special training centre for sports on the college campus. They have urged the university not to give up its land for the project. Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, during his visit to Shivamogga in February this year, had announced that a special sports training centre with advanced infrastructure would be set up in the city under Khelo India, a Union government-sponsored project. Following his assurance, the district administration held a meeting under the chairmanship of K.S. Eshwarappa, Minister in charge of the district, and decided to propose the Sahyadri College campus for the project. Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra and others were present at the meeting.More Related News
