KLE exams postponed

This had to happen, it happened the last time also and this time also it’s no difference. The KLE University examinations scheduled to be held during this month have been postponed to February as the State Government has proposed to hold the legislature session on the university campus in the city. Accordingly, the MBBS Phase-I (Supplementary), MBBS Phase-II, BDS – I Year (Supplementary) and BDS – II Year (Supplementary) examinations have been rescheduled and will be conducted from February 9.

KLE to open college in China

A bumpy welcome to Belgaum

Yes! All those who had just been to Belgaum for Ganpati or otherwise and if you were coming from Kolhapur side, you would have a bumpy Welcome at the entrance of Belgaum.

At the junction, which leads to KLE hospital from the National highway there? They are the BEST & biggest potholes of the city, the size could be 12-15 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The irony is that city corporation has built a tower very next to it, Its an umbrella illuminated which is built for the Kannada Vishwa Sammelan to welcome the delegates to the city with the words "Welcome to Belgaum", and has probably spent a few lakhs on it.

I hope good sense prevails and they had better spend some money on repairing at least the road entering the city.

I do not have a picture of the same, if anyone traveling try and get one.
Thanks Nagendra.

Bomb Scare near KLE

Two small “gift boxes” caused a flutter in Belgaum on Monday when members of the public panicked suspecting them to be bombs. However, the bomb detection squad and the dog squad established that the material inside the boxes contained any explosive.

Even as the police and the people heaved a sigh of relief, a suitcase was found abandoned on a roadside near Third Railway gate on Belgaum-Goa Road later in the afternoon. The bomb squad rushed to the spot, carried out inspection, and ruled that it was not a bomb. The Tilakwadi Police has seized the suitcase.

KLE Society bags Kolhapur health city project

Source Business StandardBelgaum-based Karnataka Legal Education (KLE) Society has bagged the Rs 500 crore ‘Medical Health City' project, proposed by the Kolhapur municipal corporation (KMC), after winning the bid against the likes Reliance Group, Hyderabad-based IVRL Group, Chennai-based Apollo Hospital, Delhi-based Value Group, Mumbai-based Hinduja National Hospital and Chennai-based Narayan Rudra Hospital.

Apparently, the society had submitted an offer of Rs 31.42 crore for the space in the project. KMC will provide around 10.56 lakh sq ft of land and other infrastructural facilities for the project which will be the first of its kind in Western Maharashtra.

The KLE society is expected to build well equipped hospital having 2,000 beds and other modern medical facilities. Besides, it will offer a well-built hospital in the area of 50,000 sq ft to KMC, replacing the present hospital which needs renovation and other amenities.
While KMC's new hospital will provide medical facilities for the epidemic-diseases, the KLE society's private hospital will provide ultra-modern facilities to those who afford the fees and other costs of the medical services and facilities.

Speaking about the project, Dr. Sudhir Deshmukh, health officer at KMC pointed out that KLE society's offer is to be discussed in details in due course of time and will be finalised for the submission for final approval during KMC's general body meeting.
