Women’s university to set up more regional, extension and PG centres

‘We’ve begun translating textbooks for bachelor programmes in Indian languages, as per NEP requirements’

Vijayapura-based Karnataka State Akka Mahadevi Women’s University will expand its presence across the State by setting up regional centres, extension centres and post-graduate centres, Vice-Chancellor B.K. Tulasimala has said.

She was speaking at the 12th convocation of the university in Vijayapura on Tuesday.

“We are focussing on providing higher education to girls across the State, especially in rural areas. Now that our scope has expanded to the whole State, we will try to reach out to all corners of the State,” she said. The State Government has sanctioned 4 acres of land at Addiganahalli near Bengaluru. The university proposes to establish a regional centre there and run a KAS-cum-IAS coaching centre for aspiring women graduates.
