  1. Howdy, Modi! says:

    Not even Lord Krishna can fix the pelthora of problems like casteism, communalism, nepotism and corruption embedded in this third rate UOM.
    Sirdar Panicker in as the VC traied in 1960s, to remove the professors who were appointed based on the caste. One day, he was found dead in his home, supposedly from heart attack-but many doubted poisoning. The enquiry as usual cleared any foul play.

  2. Prof. Govinda says:

    ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK TO PROF HEMANTHA KUMAR, THE OUTGOING VC OF UOM.
    I SINCERELY PRAY THE ALMIGHTY TO APPOINT A PROFESSOR SIMILAR TO PROF Y P RUDRAPPA
    AS VC FOR THIS PRESTIGIOUS FIVE STAR UNIVERSITY !!

  3. Prof Reddy says:

    I request His Excellency, the Chancellor & Governor of Karnataka to appoint an outsider as Vice-Chancellor of Univ of Mysore to improve this University in all aspects.

    Hello Profs Govinda and Reddy
    First, Prof Govinda. For a start, when you want to post something use the lower case letters. Upper case letters all the way indicates that you are really a dim witted person who thinks yoyu know best. Y P Rudrappa was an arrogant imbecile when he was a physician at the KR Hospital, brandishing his MRCP credential as if he was unique. He was not . As a VC he was an utter failure. That tells more about you.
    Hello Prof Reddy, the last time the UOM had an outside VC, was Srimali, in late 1960sthe failed central education minister, who more as a politico, never improved the state of this University which was mired in corruption and nepotism. He simply plodded on and faded away. Before him in the rearly 1960s, there was KM Panicker, who was serious in fixing the corruption , and removing those professors who were appointed based on their backward caste credentials. The result: KM Panicker was poisoned, and was got rid off. The eye wash enquiry said he died of heart attack, a lie.
    This university can never be improved, so are other universities in India.
    Why do you think Indian students with all these universities are applying to study in USA<,Australia and Britain?
    This country is corrupt to the core.
    Expect a Lingayat or a Gowda as the VC, based on the caste credential.
