The Hindu
It will start a campus on a 31-acre site in Tiruchi soon
The Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN), established over a decade ago at the initiative of the then Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in his native district Tiruvarur, will soon be setting up a campus in Tiruchi.
A 31-acre site in K. Abhishekapuram zone in Tiruchi City Corporation limits has been offered by the State government to the CUTN. The move to establish an off-campus in Tiruchi, mooted by its former Vice-Chancellor Aditya Prasad Dash, will coincide with signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bharathidasan Institute of Management, Tiruchi, to offer management programmes with specialisations and another with Salim Ali Institute of Ornithology and Natural History, Coimbatore, Vice-Chancellor M. Krishnan told The Hindu.
Prof. Krishnan said the State government was quite forthcoming in sanctioning land for the off-campus in Tiruchi, where a greater number of programmes in humanities had been proposed.
Remember how Anne Frank didn’t miss a day to write in her diary which she named, Kitty? Anne wasn’t just scribbling dates and events — she was writing about her hopes, dreams, feelings and fears — like painting her world with words on paper. During the most difficult phase of her life, Anne found solace in her journal which became a way for her to stay connected to herself and it gave the world a glimpse into her immensely powerful resilience. In today’s world, where everyone is constantly scrolling the screens — journaling has become a sweet escape and a digital detox. Surprising, right? The old-school practice of picking up a pen and writing your thoughts in a diary has made a major comeback.
