Kerala University Laws Amendment Bills introduced to ensure syndicate efficiency

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 7 (UNI) The University Laws (Amendment) Bills have been introduced in the Kerala Legislative Assembly. Higher Education and Social Justice Minister Dr. R. Bindu stated the amendments are essential to ensure the effective functioning of university syndicates, which is key to smooth administration and student welfare.
