and self-financed) to the pupil of Kanyakumari District. Out of 39,100
students pursuing Under Graduate courses in different colleges in
Kanyakumari District, only 7,110 (18.2%) are opting for Post Graduate
level courses due to low-level access to higher education. Keeping in

economic development based on the recommendations given by the National
Knowledge Commission.
