Title: Need to sanction the proposal submitted by the State Government for setting up a Central University in Kerala.
SHRI VARKALA RADHAKRISHNAN (CHIRAYINKIL): I rise to bring an urgent matter of public importance to the notice of the Central Government. We are going to discuss a Bill which seeks to convert an educational society functioning at Hyderabad into a full-fledged Central University.
We all know that Kerala is the most literate State in India. You can find a Malayali in any part of not only India but across the globe. Lakhs of Malayalis are working abroad. So, under these circumstances, it is only just and proper that a Central University is established in Kerala. The most important thing is that the Government has to consider it. It is high time for the Central Government to have done that – to start a Central University of Foreign Languages. I request the Government to take a serious view of the matter and see that a Central University is established in Kerala.
MR. SPEAKER: Shri Radhakrishnan, do not expect any other opportunity till the end of the Session!
