New Face of Terror: RGUHS to Keep Detailed Record of Students

In the wake of chief minister B S Yeddyurappa's concern that radicals in the state are carrying out nefarious activities in the guise of medical and engineering students, educational institutions and universities are working on various methods to keep a detailed record of students.

Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) is planning to add more information to the present database of foreign students already admitted to its affiliated colleges. RGUHS registrar S Vasantha Kumar told The Times of India that a meeting was held with 36 medical college principals and 54 ayurveda college principals recently, where admission lists were asked to be updated.

The meeting chaired by vice-chancellor S Ramananda Shetty asked the colleges to have complete details of the students, as per university requirements. "Details include photographs too. We have asked the colleges to monitor those staying in hostels," he said.
