News on Governance 4 ArdorComm Media Group Karnataka Government Hints at Hiking Water Tariff in Bengaluru

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced a potential increase in water tariffs in Bengaluru, following a recent hike in petrol and diesel prices in Karnataka. The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) faces significant financial challenges, and Shivakumar emphasized the need for a review after 10 years. The completion of the fifth phase of the Cauvery project is expected to impact the decision on the water tariff hike. After the recent increase in petrol and diesel prices in Karnataka, residents of Bengaluru may also face a water tariff hike. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar mentioned on Wednesday that the water tariff had not been revised for the past decade, necessitating a review. “We are suffering huge losses. We’ve taken up new projects, and no bank is coming forward to finance the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB),” said Shivakumar, who is also the Bengaluru development minister. Last week, the state government increased sales tax on fuel, making petrol and diesel costlier by Rs 3 and Rs 3.5 per litre, respectively. Shivakumar added that he has instructed officials to review the BWSSB’s financial position and provide a report. “Let them give a report first. We will place it before the public before taking a call. The fifth phase of the Cauvery project is going to be completed. In 10-15 days, I’ll ensure completion of BWSSB work in this regard. At least 70% of the water bill is incurred through power bills and labor charges. Every year, we suffer a big loss. Hence, there is no option. I am working out possibilities and discussing how to stabilize the company (BWSSB),” he said. Justifying the necessity of the hike, Shivakumar stated: “Even the financing committee, World Bank, and others are telling us we are politicizing the issue and not even trying to bring it to a breakeven level. This is what various officials and international banking staffers are conveying. We must expand the water distribution system. I have now allotted 6 TMC ft of more water to Bengaluru. We must undertake the work of one more phase. There is no option unless we show them that BWSSB is an independent company and works as an independent entity.”

News on education 19 ArdorComm Media Group Karnataka Government to End Four-Year Honours Degree Programme Implemented Under NEP

The Karnataka state government has announced its decision to discontinue the option for students to pursue a four-year honours degree programme, which was implemented under the National Education Policy (NEP). An official order to this effect is scheduled to be issued on May 8, following the completion of the second phase of polling in Karnataka on May 7. The higher education department, awaiting the conclusion of the state’s elections, will issue the order, effectively ending the four-year honours courses. This decision will impact the current batch of students admitted under the NEP, who are currently in their third year and will be the last to have the option to continue into the fourth year. During a recent meeting, officials from the higher education department communicated this decision to the vice-chancellors of all state-run universities. The vice-chancellors have been instructed to inform students during the admissions process for the academic year 2024-25 that there will be no four-year honours programmes available, and to admit students only for three-year degree courses. The decision is based on the interim report submitted by the State Education Policy (SEP) commission, led by former chairperson of the University Grants Commission, Sukhadeo Thorat. While the commission requested until August 2024 to submit its final report, it submitted the interim report on the four-year honours programme to address the confusion among students admitted under the NEP. As students are currently in their final year, universities need to clarify whether they will receive a degree certificate or be allowed to continue for the fourth year. The issuance of an official order after the state elections aims to provide clarity on this matter and streamline the higher education system in Karnataka.

News on Health 6 ArdorComm Media Group Karnataka Health Minister Accuses Centre of Disrupting Anti-TB Drug Supply

Karnataka’s Health Minister, Dinesh Gundu Rao, has voiced concerns over interruptions in the supply of anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs by the Central government. Rao highlighted the critical shortage of medications, putting the lives of over 80,000 TB patients at risk annually in the state. Expressing dismay over the lack of adequate drug quantities, Rao emphasized the detrimental impact of delayed communications and directives from the Union Government, especially during the model code of conduct period. He urged immediate action to rectify the situation, stressing that neglecting people’s health amid electoral considerations is unjustifiable. Rao’s assertions come amidst accusations of “stepmotherly treatment” towards Karnataka by the Centre regarding funding for various development projects, particularly in drought-affected regions. State Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar also criticized the Centre for not providing the mandated extra 50 days of work under the MGNREGA program for drought-hit taluks, despite repeated appeals from state officials. Shivakumar underscored the urgency of addressing these issues, pointing out the legal obligation to provide additional support during times of crisis. Despite appeals to Union Ministers, including the Prime Minister and Home Minister, Shivakumar lamented the lack of financial assistance for drought relief efforts in Karnataka.

Tamil Nadu Health Department Issues Advisory Amid Monkey Fever Surge in Karnataka

News on health 1 ArdorComm Media Group Tamil Nadu Health Department Issues Advisory Amid Monkey Fever Surge in Karnataka

The Tamil Nadu Public Health Department has raised concerns over the increasing cases of Monkey Fever (Kyasanur Forest Disease) in neighbouring Karnataka districts, prompting the issuance of an advisory to Tamil Nadu forest authorities and local bodies in bordering areas. As Monkey Fever cases surge in Karnataka, with two fatalities and 103 hospitalizations reported in Shivamogga, Uttara Kannada, and Chickmagaluru districts, the threat looms large over Tamil Nadu’s border villages. A joint study by the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institute of Virology (NIV) has confirmed the presence of the virus in Mysore and Hassan districts of Karnataka, adjacent to Tamil Nadu. To mitigate the risk, health and forest authorities have intensified surveillance along the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border, particularly targeting forest personnel, anti-poaching watchers, and guards, who are at higher risk due to their proximity to wildlife habitats. The Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) in the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, shares borders with the Bandipur National Park in Karnataka, where about 200 field staff operate daily, potentially exposing themselves to the virus carried by monkeys, rodents, and shrews. With the approaching dry season and forest fires, which can exacerbate the spread of ticks carrying the virus, the coming months pose heightened risks for field staff. Although vaccination against Monkey Fever was administered to forest personnel in the Nilgiris until 2020, the practice was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Monkey Fever typically manifests symptoms like chills, fever, headache, severe muscle pain, vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, and bleeding. While there’s no specific treatment, early hospitalization and supportive therapy are crucial for managing the disease.

News on health 7 ArdorComm Media Group Delhi Reports First Case of JN.1 COVID Variant: Live Updates and Emerging Trends in India’s Pandemic Landscape

Delhi has reported its first case of the JN.1 COVID variant, as per live updates on the pandemic. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi has promptly issued guidelines in response to this new case. As of December 26, India has recorded a total of 109 JN.1 COVID variant cases, according to sources from the Health Ministry. The distribution of cases reveals 36 in Gujarat, 34 in Karnataka, 14 in Goa, 9 in Maharashtra, 6 in Kerala, 4 in Rajasthan, 4 in Tamil Nadu, and 2 in Telangana. Wednesday witnessed a spike in the daily COVID-19 cases in India, with 529 new infections reported in a single day. The active infection count in the country stands at 4,093, with three new fatalities documented within 24 hours – two in Karnataka and one in Gujarat. This surge in cases follows a period of relative decline, with daily case numbers dropping to double digits until December 5. The resurgence is attributed to the emergence of a new variant and cold weather conditions. Internationally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified JN.1 as a variant of interest, distinct from its parent lineage BA.2.86. However, the WHO has emphasized that, based on current evidence, the overall risk posed by JN.1 remains low. The classification of JN.1 as a variant of interest underscores the ongoing efforts to monitor and understand the evolution of the virus.

News on Health 6 ArdorComm Media Group COVID-19 Update: Rising Cases, Advisory in Himachal, JN.1 Variant Spreads

Amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, several Indian states are urging citizens to adhere to coronavirus protocols. As of December 25, Kerala leads with 3,096 active cases, followed by Karnataka (436), Maharashtra (168), Gujarat (56), and Tamil Nadu (139). The Union Health Ministry reported 69 cases of the JN.1 COVID subvariant in the country. In response to the variant’s presence, Himachal Pradesh health officials issued an advisory. Chief medical officers are instructed to test individuals with COVID-19 symptoms, emphasizing vigilance. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar from Una recommended immediate testing for those with symptoms like cold, fever, or cough, while stressing the importance of mask-wearing. Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao confirmed 34 cases of the JN.1 variant in the state, reassuring the public that the situation is under control. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar urged citizens not to panic, emphasizing that the health minister would provide updates. In a surprising turn, BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal threatened to reveal a purported ₹40,000-crore “Covid scam” if expelled from the party. Yatnal alleges that the Karnataka BJP government, led by B S Yediyurappa, engaged in massive corruption during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delhi’s Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj stated that the city’s COVID positivity rate is around 1%. While advising caution during winter festivals, he assured the public that additional genome sequencing is being conducted. Meanwhile, a new COVID-19 case surfaced in Khurda district, Odisha, bringing the state’s total to three. All three individuals exhibit mild symptoms and are undergoing home treatment. Responding to the escalating cases, the Karnataka government’s coronavirus sub-committee implemented measures, including mandatory mask-wearing, home isolation, and caution against sending symptomatic children to schools. Dr. Shekhar C Mande, former Director-General of CSIR, emphasized the significance of disease surveillance in India, not only for COVID-19 but also for tracking the spread of various infections, including antimicrobial resistance. He highlighted the usefulness of surveillance methods such as wastewater analysis in detecting variants like JN.1. The World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled JN.1 as a ‘variant of interest,’ distinct from its counterpart BA.2.86. Despite this, WHO maintains that the risk from JN.1 remains low for now

“The dynamic and ever-changing mindset of the people in Karnataka makes it an ideal environment for innovation and technological advancements,” says Dr. Malini Dutta, Principal, BGS National Public School, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? It is an excellent opportunity. When we see these leaders coming together, thanks to platforms like this, it brings together knowledge, thought processes, and the drive to create innovative changes in our schools and campuses. It’s not just about sharing knowledge; it’s also about the amalgamation of knowledge, experience, and competency. This synergy is a boost for us to move forward. Thank you for organizing such events, and thanks to ArdorComm Media for making it happen. As you know, the theme of our event is New Normal Karnataka. What’s your take on this? There is no doubt that Karnataka serves as a hub for education and learning. It’s worth noting that Karnataka was among the first states to adopt the National Education Policy (NEP). Setting aside political agendas, the focus should be on how education policies, coupled with new technologies, innovations, and creativity, can positively impact our children. This impact should extend beyond academics to encompass co-scholastic fields. Karnataka stands at the forefront of educational innovation, largely due to its association with Silicon Valley and the influx of talent and companies from abroad. Notable organizations like De Facto, Aids London, and others have set up operations here, offering recognition and certifications to our students. These certifications, recognized by the government of the United Kingdom, provide our students with a competitive edge. Certificates that hold such value often become key factors in securing scholarships. Karnataka is a preferred destination for innovative organizations and digital technology-based companies. They recognize the state’s potential because of its diverse population and cosmopolitan cities where technology is readily embraced. The dynamic and ever-changing mindset of the people in Karnataka makes it an ideal environment for innovation and technological advancements. So, I think Karnataka is rocking and it will rock in the future as well How are you implementing technology in your school? Technology is integrated into every aspect of our school, from assemblies to classes and skill development. We have one of the highest numbers of technology implementations in our school in Bangalore. We have an Atal Tinkering Lab, and our students have been winning national-level projects for the past six to seven years. We have technology in design thinking, CD Labs, computer education, and even in issuing books through our ERP system. The content library allows students to access practice materials and clear doubts from the comfort of their homes. ArdorComm Media has recently completed two years of its existence, any message for us? Many congratulations! I hope and can see that you are exceeding your own expectations. I have a suggestion: create a separate segment where you exclusively promote schools and students. Highlight the marvellous achievements, innovations, and contributions of students. This encouragement and acknowledgment from media can boost the morale, enthusiasm, and energy of students. Media plays a pivotal role in our democracy, and it should extend its support to students and schools. I look forward to seeing ArdorComm Media more involved in the student and school segments.

Karnataka Establishes New Textbook Revision Committee with Three-Month Mandate for Curriculum Overhaul

News on Edu 27th Sept 2023 ArdorComm Media Group Karnataka Establishes New Textbook Revision Committee with Three-Month Mandate for Curriculum Overhaul

The Karnataka government has taken steps to form a fresh textbook revision committee aimed at revising the state’s educational curriculum. This initiative will focus on first and second language Kannada textbooks for classes 1 to 10, third language Kannada textbooks for classes 9 and 10, as well as social science textbooks for classes 6 to 10. In an official order issued on September 25, the government appointed Dr. Manjunath Hegde, a retired history professor, as the chief coordinator of this committee. The panel, comprising 37 members including education experts and academicians, has been granted a maximum of three months to complete the revision of textbooks. The goal is to implement the updated curriculum in the academic year 2024-25. It’s worth noting that the previous textbook revision, conducted when the BJP was in power, faced criticism due to concerns of ideological bias. At that time, Rohit Chakrathirtha, a right-wing ideologue, was appointed as the chairman of the revision committee. The opposition, led by the Congress, accused the government of injecting a right-wing perspective into the textbooks by including content related to RSS founder KB Hedgewar, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, and works by right-wing activists like Chakravarthy Sulibele. The primary responsibility of the 37-member committee is to provide educational guidance and recommendations to the government regarding the revision of textbooks in the specified subjects and classes. Additionally, the order suggests that the chief coordinator and other committee members receive a monthly honorarium and other facilities during the three-month period. Dr. Manjunath Hegde, hailing from Uttara Kannada district, will lead the committee, overseeing five subject-specific textbook revision committees: Dr. Anjanappa, a Kannada professor at Tunga Mahavidyalaya in Shivamogga, will head the first language Kannada textbook revision committee, consisting of 10 members. Dr. HS Sathyanarayan, a Kannada lecturer at Government Girls PU College in Chikkamagaluru, will preside over the second language Kannada textbook revision committee, also comprising 10 members. Dr. Manjanna, a lecturer at Government Women’s First Degree College in Davangere, will lead the third language Kannada textbook revision committee, which includes four members. Dr. Kiran M, an assistant professor at the Central University of Gulbarga, will serve as the president of the social science textbook revision committee for classes 6 and 7, comprising seven members. Dr. Ashwathnarayan, a retired history professor of Bangalore University, will head the social science textbook revision committee for classes 8, 9, and 10, with 10 members. One noteworthy change this year is the inclusion of minority representation in the committee, addressing a criticism faced by the BJP last year. The Congress government has appointed three Muslims to the committee, including Waseem Anwar, an assistant teacher at Karnataka Public School in Tumkur, who is a member of the social science textbook revision committee for classes 6 and 7. Tabbasum Fathima, an assistant teacher at Government Urdu High School in Ramanagara, and Shaheena Alampura, an assistant teacher at Government High School in Bengaluru Rural, are members of the social science textbook revision committee for classes 8, 9, and 10. Earlier this year, the Congress government had initiated 18 changes in the Kannada and Social Science subjects for classes 6 to 10. These changes involved the removal of a class 10 lesson on Hedgewar, “Who Should Be an Ideal Man,” and its replacement with “Story of Sukumara Swami” authored by Shivakotacharya in Kannada language. Additionally, the Congress reintroduced “Letters from a Father to His Daughter” by Jawaharlal Nehru, translated into Kannada by Siddanahalli Krishna Sharma, in class 8, reversing the BJP’s previous decision to exclude it and introduce “BhooKailasa” by Parampalli Narasimha Aithal, which has now been removed.
