'Aim is to impart quality education'

Hanamkonda: Efforts are on to improve pass percentage in physiotherapy course, Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) Vice-Chancellor Dr B Karunakar Reddy said.

Speaking at the Board of Studies meeting at a private hotel here on Wednesday, he expressed concern over the dwindling pass percentage in physiotherapy course. He said that there is an imperative need to focus on the quality of physiotherapy education which is alarming.

"We will deal strictly with the postgraduate students if they are absent to classes and resort to private practice. With biometric attendance system in place, it's going to be difficult for the faculty and PG students if they bunk the classes," Reddy said. Come what may, we will not compromise when it comes to the matter of imparting quality education, he said.

P Vamshikrishna, Ch Sitaram Babu, rector T Venkateshwar Rao, registrar D Praveen Kumar, Y Mallishwar, D Ramesh Kumar, S V Satyanarayana, Sudhakar, K Hemanth Kumar and PRO Kiranmayee were among others present.
