Kerala University comes across 18 fake certificates in a month

October 3, 2013

Kerala_UniversityThiruvananthapuram, Oct 3: Kerala University has stumbled upon over half a dozen fake degree certificates and over a dozen fake pre-degree certificates in a month.

It's not the first time that the university came across such fake certificates. It receives a good number of applications for verification of various certificates every month and many such certificates prove bogus on detailed verification. However, it has not been able to identify those holding the bogus certificates or those operating the fake certificate rackets.

University pro-vice-chancellor N Veeramanikandan said, "I've just completed a month in my post. During this brief period, I have come across at least six or seven cases of fake certificates."

Most enquiries for certificate verification come from agencies and companies outside the state. "In some cases, even the fake signature of VCs doesn't match with their original term in the office. We have not been able to take any stern action as the chances of identifying fake certificate rackets and those who obtain the same are remote," he said.

Controller of examinations K Madhukumar said the university was not in a position to seek police action even though it has come across a large number of fake certificates. He said at least 15 pre-degree certificates that came for verification were found fake a few days ago.

"Whenever the university confirms that a certificate it received for verification is fake, we inform the applicant about the same. We also request them to pass the original address of the certificate holder so that we can initiate action. However, no agencies or companies have so far heeded our request. We can't approach the police without the real name or address of the fake certificate holder. We will have to find other options," he said.

The university had, two years ago, introduced an online system for certification verification. The verification is completed in 15 days if applied online while it could take a month in case of manual submission.

First Steps Pre-School, Kudroli celebrated Red Day on Friday, 14th March 2020 with elegance. To mark the celebration, all the tiny tots wore Red clothing and brought Red coloured fruits, vegetables & toys to share with the class and each pre-schooler briefly described his or her Red item brought to the class. 

The classroom was decorated with red streamers, balloons and table settings. The bulletin board was designed with the word ‘Red’ with pictures of Red animals, vehicles, plants and foods.

The Bloomings were asked to bring Red coloured objects for a ‘Show and Tell’ activity.

The teachers collected the objects from the children and displayed them on a table and taught the names of the objects to the children and also introduced many other facts about them. Students were given a thorough understanding of the colour red through different activities.

The kids actively participated and were very happy and excited. Parents were equally thrilled and overwhelmed due to their child’s participation.

Career Guidance Counsellor, Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) Shameer Ahmed was the chief guest of the event. He addressed the students on the importance of colours and explained the purpose of conducting such an event to boost the confidence and creative culture in kids.
 
Headteacher Himna S. Ahmed enlightened the importance of colour in our life. She further added that Red is the best colour to create enthusiasm for life and can awaken greater confidence & optimism. In the meaning of colours, Red inspires original thought and inquisitiveness. 

Red is the colour of energy, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense colour. Children learnt the significance, importance and identification of the colours.

The teachers Himna, Azeema decorated the classrooms with red objects that children can easily identify with. They created beautiful red tables, red drapes, red balloons, red toys, red boxes, red balls, red fruit and vegetable cutouts etc. Everywhere the kids looked, they found something or the other in red. Learning was fun on red day and the children are looking forward to learning about yet another colour.
