Hubballi: Deputy Chief Minister and Higher education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan on Monday said that the colleges will reopen after vaccination of students, teachers and staff is completed across the state.
Speaking to newsmen here he said that the Karnataka government has not taken a decision on the reopening of colleges. However, the department is making preparations for reopening, keeping in mind the fact that they may open once vaccination is complete, he said.
“The process or reopening colleges and universities is fraught with challenges. However, how long can we go on like this? Life should be back on track as soon as possible. We have to take enough safety measures and aim at reopening colleges. In this regard, universal vaccination of all college students is the only way ahead,” he said.
“On the one hand, we are vaccinating people and, on the other hand, we are equipping hospitals to treat larger number of patients. There are over 6,000 beds for COVID-19 patients in government hospitals. We are appointing over 2,000 doctors, paramedical staff and Group D staff. All this will help us better manage the pandemic
He denied allegations that the government had neglected its duty of vaccinating citizens.
