He said that in southern region, the technical colleges are having exorbitant fee structures and it is sometimes not possible for all the students to get admission there. “After I retired, I wanted to invest my life time savings. So, I decided to open this institution, which provides education at no profit no loss basis. We have 240 seats in four different courses. Of these, 50 percent are of Karnataka state residents and rest 50 percent I prefer to enrol the students from north India states,” he added. Nowadays, the politicians and some business houses are running educational institutions and it has become a big racket in India. So, I also want to give them feel good factor. Presently, as many as 100 students, including girl from Punjab and Kashmir, are continuing their education here and are living in a hostel at no profit no loss.
