Bangalore University likely to be bifurcated

Bangalore, Dec 22: The Minister of Higher Education of Karnataka, Dr V S Acharya has put a proposal before state government to split Bangalore University into two.

Meanwhile, the Minister claimed that the decision has been taken for smooth running of the University. "This is the opinion of many scholars and the government is giving serious thought to the matter. Though most of the academicians want to split it, they want the university to be affiliated with Bangalore," he said.
