Universities haunted by conspirators - NCP CM

students should understand that the Universities are being haunted by conspirators and saboteurs when entering the University and one should not fall prey to such categories, North Central Province Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake said.

The Chief Minister was speaking at the Swarnapali Balika National School's annual prize-giving ceremony recently.

University Grants Commission Chairman Prof Gamini Samaranayake said the students who leave school as highly disciplined, lot behave in a contradictory manner once they entered the University. When observing the somewhat indecent and undisciplined activities of the University students, the Universities resemble, captive or unliberated zones, Prof Samaranayake was delivering keynote address at the annual prize-giving ceremony said.

Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake was the Chief Guest. Prof Samaranayake said the University administration would not hesitate at all to eradicate the unsuitable and unwarranted behaviours of the undergraduate community including the ragging from the University network.

"At school level the students maintain a high degree of discipline resulting from the care and vigilance shown by the parents. But it is a pity that once the child is in the University, the parents visit them only at the admission and the convocation, creating a huge space between the two parties," the UGC Chairman emphasized.
