Bengaluru: The committee constituted by the Karnataka Congress president D K Shivakumar for recommendations on re-introducing student elections at campuses, has decided to invite stakeholders’ opinions.

The committee convener Dr Sharan Prakash Patil said that an email address will be shared with the public to send their opinions.

“Instead of gathering opinions from stakeholders individually, we have decided to create an email address and it will be open for all; anyone can share their views, opinions and suggestions,” he said.

However, the committee has decided to meet on January 22 to discuss the issue further. “Intention behind bringing back campus elections may be good to create second-generation leadership, but stakeholders’ opinion matters the most. Students, teachers, parents and student organisations associated with any political parties are free to send their opinion,” the minister said.

The public can send their opinion to [e-mail].
