By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, SEPT. 28. The State Government has issued a notification, nominating five experts in the fields of Information Technology and Biotechnology, to the Syndicate of the Kerala University.

They are Mr. Madhu S. Nair, chairman, Kerala Infotech Limited, Dr. Jagathy Raj, Reader, School of Management Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Dr. Thankamony, Head of the Department of Biotechnology, University of Kerala, Ms. P.A. Zaheeda, Professor and Head of the Department of Electronics, Government Engineering College, Palakkad, besides the Secretary to Government, Department of Information Technology, Ms. Aruna Sunderarajan.

With these nominations, the pro-Government section in the syndicate is expected to gain an upperhand, which in turn will make matters easy for the Government, which can now push through legislations in academic issues as per its agenda.

The pro-Left members had, so far, been enjoying a majority in the syndicate and this was being viewed as a thorn in the flesh for the UDF Government, especially in regard to setting up of professional colleges in the private sector.
