Mysuru: The University of Mysore VC NK Loknath on Saturday advised students to take part in cultural, literary, and extracurricular activities, apart from giving importance to academic promotion.
He was speaking after inaugurating the University of Mysore inter-collegiate cultural and literary meet 2024-25, organised by the Students Welfare Directorate at Manasagangotri, the PG campus.
