Hubli, Aug 10 (UNI) Karnataka Minister for Higher Education D H Shankarmurthy, expressing concern over Engineering and Medical students getting involved in terrorist activities, said that there seems to be some draw back in our education system.

Speaking after inaugurating at a function organized at Karnataka University, Dharwad (KUD), he called upon the teachers to ponder over the matter and stressed the need for providing education that taught morality and social awareness among the students.

Asserting that computers have led to an amazing development in the country, Mr Shankarmurthy said the state government could provide jobs to only about Six lakh people in the past 60 years but the Information Technology (IT) has provided 5.40 lakh jobs to the youth during the past few years.

Earlier, participating at a function here, the Minister said that the present coalition government in the state has given more preference to education by according permission for opening of 108 colleges in a span of 18 months.

He called upon the students to utilize the facilities provided by the government for higher education in the state.
