Summary:
MANGALURU: The Board of Studies (BoS) in Kannada at Mangalore University is skirting with controversy in the curriculum it prescribes for undergraduates. “Besides, teachers who teach the lesson too are part of the syllabus formation,” he added. If H Nagaveni’s ‘Gandhi Bandha’ first cast the spotlight on BoS, Baragur Ramachandrappa’s article ‘Yuddha Ondu Udyama’ stirred the hornet’s nest last year. The syllabus is revised once every three years, and if each revision stokes controversy due to division of opinion, the editorial board that works for it under the BoS, will feel hard done by. Universities, including Mangalore University, normally in such cases, withdraw the same or revise part or whole of the text to assuage ruffled feelings,” Nagappa Gowda said, adding such an act should not been seen as admission of guilt on part of the university..
