University of Mysore was the first University in the State that joined hands with the government in the battle against Covid-19. About more than 1,400 staff including UOM vice chancellor, teaching and non- teaching staff will be donating their day’s salary.
According to a notification released by the office of Registrar on Thursday ” The university has appealed to its staff to express their willingness.
