Mysuru, January 24, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): It is admissions time at the University of Mysore. But due to the COVID-19 Pandemic rules students and parents are not supposed to gather in groups. Prof. G. Hemanth Kumar, who is well aware of this from the last two years thought about installation of an LED screen for the benefit of the students, which has attracted appreciation from many people now.
Online and offline admissions are in process everywhere due to the pandemic. Students from far off places come for admission to the University of Mysore. They require proper information about admissions like which bank should they visit to pay the fee? which is the official website of the University? etc. Though earlier also all this information was put in the notice board, the students were not able to get the information. In this context LED screens have been put up at five places in the University campus to provide complete information to the students about admissions and activities of the University. The Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) and the Regional College also have followed the footsteps of the University of Mysore’s LED concept.
LED screens have been installed at five different places in the campus in the year 2020. One in front of the Crawford Hall, one near the Kuvempu Statue at the entrance of the University, one each near the library, Senate Bhavan and JC College entrance. Information like the various programs offered by different departments of the University, University programs, admission details, examination details, notifications, etc. are flashed through these LED screens.
The objective of installing the LED screens is to ensure that each and every student is aware about the various activities and programs that are running in the University. There are different departments in the University and one or the other programs will be going on. But the students of other departments will not know about it. All the details like seminars, interactions, and other program details are shown on the LED screens for the benefit of the students. Also arrangements are made to telecast the sports and other functions live. As these screens are put up at strategic points like the clock tower, Vignana Bhavana and JC College entrance, the students can collect information while passing through.
