“The number of students in the Universities is increasing. But unfortunately the number of teaching staff has decline. Many departments have only one lecturer and many departments lack permanent professors. Varsities are also not getting sufficient grants from the government,” he observed.
“Achievement doesn’t come easily. It comes only through hard work. We will get everything if there is discipline in our lives. We will face several challenges at every phase of our lives. Prof. B.K. Tulasimala has contributed a lot to the education sector. She has served for 3 decades. Though her varsity limits is small, administration limits is vast. Prof. B.K.
