Mysuru: The Karnataka State Government’s recent move to shut down nine universities, including those in Mandya, Hassan and Kodagu, has sparked widespread protests from students and teachers, who are demanding a reconsideration of the move.
In Hassan, students and teachers organised a protest rally from N.R. Circle to the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, where they staged a dharna demanding the retention of Hassan University. Protesters chanted slogans such as “Our University, Our Right” (Namma VV, Namma Hakku), among others.
