Over 2,000 students from around 40 degree colleges across Udupi district will get together on Malpe beach on January 13 to create a new record by singing ‘Vande Mataram’. The event is being organised by Samvedana Foundation.

Revealing this to media persons, Prakash Malpe, coordinator of the programme, said that the Foundation would enter the Golden Book of World Records by organising the event. This is being done as part of the 155th birth anniversary celebrations of Swami Vivekananda.

All the students will don white clothing while singing the national song. In addition, a 200 m long flag will be carried in procession from Gandhi Shatabhi ground to Malpe beach at 2.30 p.m. The singing would begin at 4 p.m. It would be sung in full with background music. Already, about 2,000 degree college students from about 40 degree colleges in Udupi have volunteered to participate in the event.

A team of 30 musicians were visiting these colleges to prepare the students for the event. Playback singers, including Rajesh Krishnan, Sangeeta Ravindranath, Malini Keshav Prasad, Surekha Hegde, Shruti Tumkur, Yashwant, Jagadish Puttur and Vaishnavi Manipal, would join the students.

The students would also sport a badge with the slogan ‘Save Nature for Future’ during the event. The foundation would be launching a programme to create 100 forests in the State in May, Mr. Malpe said.

I cant comment on this issue coz its thier own will and wish.  I wish they should have used this gather to teach brotherhood / respect to every indian citizen / non voilence and love.   Organisers should preach good things to youngsters without getting influenced from any political or communal party.   Also, they should not force any one to sing Vande mataram as this is not compulsoryu as per our constitution.   Jana gana mana is our national anthem and not vande mataram.  No objection in singing vande mataram by anyone, but dont force others.   Show your patriotim by loving and respecting all indians and religions.   This is fundamental right of every citizen based on constitution.

Na TASYA Pratima ASTI... (There is no image of God) Those who support this, should understand that U are worshiping the motherland. There is no image of God and U make the motherland as God and make a mock out of God... We respect the motherland but we will never worship it as a God...  God is the creator of the motherland ... Bow only to the CREATOR of all that exists including the motherland.

Mangaluru, June 14: Private schools under the aegis of Association of English Medium Schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi urged the State government to reimburse the arrears of the fee related to admission of students under the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Speaking to newsmen here on Sunday association president Y. Mohammed Beary said the State government has not cleared the arrears for the last two years. “The 400 private schools in two districts have to get around Rs 2 crore,” he said and added that the overall arrears that the government has to pay to schools in the State are around Rs1,200 crore.

Mr. Beary said arrears have made the school managements like his, who collect annual fees of about Rs 20,000 from a student, hard to function. Due to lockdown from March the schools could not conduct annual examinations and hence they could not collect pending fees from parents.

Mangaluru, Jan 5: Against the backdrop of Mangalore violence of December 19, Additional Director General of Police of Karnataka Amar Kumar Pandey visited the city and held a meeting with senior police officers.

According to senior police officials here on Sunday, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District Muslim Central Committee had planned to hold a protest against CAA at Nehru Maidan while the SKSSF had called for anti-CAA protest at State Bank area.

Though both the protests had been called off, there was an apprehension of a repeat incident of December 19 violence and hence the ADGP visited the city at the behest of state government and monitored the situation here for the entire day on Saturday.

The ADGP was unhappy that despite initial inputs and the imposition of Section 144 in the city, the situation on that day escalated to a level where police had to resort to firing only in this city.
