KUHS Vice-Chancellor inaugurates PhD programme in optometry, which he describes as a milestone for the institution
Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) Vice-Chancellor Mohanan Kunnummal inaugurated an international continuing education programme conducted by the Ahalia School of Optometry and Research Centre here on Sunday. He also inaugurated a PhD programme in optometry, which he described as a milestone for the institution.
Ahalia group chairman V.S. Gopal, Ahalia Foundation Eye Hospital medical director Sajeev Cherian Jacob, vice president (academics) E.P.B. Rajitan, and Ahalia School of Optometry and Research Centre principal Venkataramana Kalikivayi were present.
Dr. Kunnummal underscored the importance of further research in optometry. Several optometry experts from across the country attended the programme.
The resignation of BJP MLC C.P. Yogeshwar from his Council position and announcement of contesting possibly as an Independent in the Channapatna bypolls has come as a twist to the poll plot. More importantly, it has caused stress on the NDA alliance in Karnataka in which the Janata Dal (Secular) is a partner. The JD(S) seems to be on the backfoot in the developing situation.
