Explanation Sought on Missing Thesis

Indian Express: Thiruvananthapuram: Wednesday, 14 January 2015.
Kerala University Vice-Chancellor P K Radhakrishnan has sought an explanation from the Deputy Librarian of the University in the wake of reports that his PhD thesis had gone missing from the University Library.
Congress-backed Senate member B S Jyothi Kumar had field an RTI application in November last year seeking a copy of the PhD thesis of Radhakrishnan. In its response, the University informed Jyothi Kumar that the information on the thesis was not available.
The Syndicate of the University of Kerala had awarded PhD in Chemistry to Radhakrishnan on October 8, 1986. The PhD was awarded for the topic ‘Studies in Rare Earths Chemistry.’
