Sir,
This has reference to the news ‘University of Mysore to be limited to Mysuru city, district’ (SOM dated Oct. 10). The University of Mysore (UoM) is the first University in the Princely State of Mysore, established in 1916, which had its jurisdiction over the entire Princely State. Thanks to the then Mysore Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar and also due to the far-sightedness and dedication of several highly qualified academicians who adorned the chair of Vice-Chancellor, the UoM was internationally recognised.
