November 1, "Kerala Piravi Dinam". Hope young men & women in colleges wear traditional attire. I guess this is probably only occassion when young men put on White Double Dhoti to a professional college. May Kerala live happily ever after. May malayalam soar higher and higher in literary activities.
Former Education Minister Sri.T.M. Jacob was laid to rest today. My batchmates will be remembering him for many things. He removed the 'L' in S.S.L.C. We only had S.S.C. During his tenure long size text books were introduced.I was in class 8. Every year from then on, books either came pretty late or never came up till i completed schooling. The SSC book had students' photo, signature & blood group. The total marks for that 1987 SSC was 1200. Hence many of us had marks in FOUR digits.
He wanted to separate pre-degree from colleges. His proposals were opposed by LDF whose student union went into violent strikes. It is ironical that later on Pre-Degree course was added into schooling by LDF!
