Among other things, it will encourage students to take up art and culture
The cultural policy of Mangalore University will be ready by this April, according to Vice-Chancellor P.S. Yadapadithaya.
Mr. Yadapadithaya told The Hindu that after he announced that he will bring out the policy a year ago, the university constituted a committee comprising experts B. A. Vivek Rai, former Vice-Chancellor of Kannada University, Hampi, and also a former Vice-Chancellor of Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), and M. Mohan Alva, chairman, Alva’s Education Foundation. But the committee could not meet due to COVID-19 restrictions. The contents of the policy could not have been finalised through online discussion. It required one-to-one interaction, he said.
The Vice-Chancellor said that the committee will meet this month and also next month to finalise the policy. It will be ready when the university will hold its annual convocation in April. It will be on the lines of the sports policy adopted by the university.
