University of Mysore to retain its original name

Change will have negative bearing on students, says VC

Mysore: The Government’s decision to rename Bangalore as Bengaluru and Mysore as Mysooru, will not affect the universities.

The University of Mysore will retain its original name as incorporated under the Act when it was established by Nalwudi Krishna raja Wadiyar in 1916.

Mysooru

Vice-Chancellor of the university J. Shashidhar Prasad told presspersons here on Saturday that change of geographical names would not affect the original name of institutions and universities. University of Mysore will continue to be called as such but the geographical situation, Mysooru, will be appended next to it, Prof. Prasad added.

International forums

“The University of Mysore has an international reputation and the Act under which it was registered has the same name and we will strictly follow it and the name cannot be changed.

The University of Mysore has also been listed in many international forums and change of name will not only affect its credibility but will also have a negative bearing on its students”. Prof. Prasad said.

Renaming Madras

He pointed out that though Madras was renamed Chennai, the nomenclature of the university was retained and it continues to be called University of Madras, Chennai, so is the case with the University of Bombay, Mumbai.

Sentiments

“We also have to bear in mind the sentiments of the founders of the university who registered its name as University of Mysore and this cannot be changed”, he said.
