Kerala to Launch 300 Science Centres and Anonymous Campus Complaint App
Kerala plans to establish 300 science centres to promote scientific temper among 15 lakh young people and launch the Siddharth Student Welfare App, enabling students to anonymously report ragging and campus issues. Chief Minister V D Satheesan will inaugurate these initiatives, including the first sub-centre of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Scientific Temper. The app, named after J S Sidharthan, a student who died by suicide allegedly due to ragging, aims to provide a confidential platform for student safety. The state is also considering anti-ragging legislation to support these efforts.
