Mangaluru, Dec 10: Urban development and housing minister UT Khader has said that the state government would build four lakh houses across Karnataka for the underprivileged sections of society, of which one lakh will be built in Bengaluru.

Affirming the Karnataka government’s commitment to the housing sector, he said that the government would render the process to obtain clearances for builders and developers simpler by introducing a single-window clearance system for no-objection certificates and licences. “This will be launched by chief minister HD Kumaraswamy in Bengaluru on December 15,” Khader said.

The minister said that he was looking to collect feedback to help improve living experience in urban spaces in the state. “As soon as I took charge of the urban development and housing department, I instructed officials to eliminate all middlemen and stressed the role of efficiency,” said Khader.

Elaborating on the nitty-gritty of the single-window system, Khader said, “The mechanism is supported by a software that will prevent builders from having to run from pillar to post to seek approval. Once the application is submitted to the system, the applicant will know if it has been accepted or rejected within seconds. The date of inspection will be sent to the applicant in 15 days, and the inspection itself will be completed within 30 days of the application’s submission.”

He said the government had identified an area of 1,000 acres in Bengaluru to construct one lakh houses for economically weaker sections of the society. “The CM will lay the foundation stone for the project on January 26,’ said Khader.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.
