Announcing this at a press meet here on Saturday, Vivek M Alva, Managing Trustee, AEF, said that almost 400 companies are likely to participate in this year's Alva's Pragati and as of now, more than 150 companies have confirmed their participation. Dr. B.R. Shetty, CEO of NMC and UAE Exchange will be inaugurating this event on July 2.

Prominent companies that participated in the last version of Alva's Pragati-2015 include Oracle, EY, IBM, TCS, Amazon, Biocon, Adani group, Titan, ITC, Taj Group, ICICI Bank, Wipro, TVS, AllCargo, Mphasis, Standard Chartered Bank, Axis Bank, MRG group, Kirloskar Electric, Idea Cellular, etc.

Hospitality and logistics of all corporate will be hosted and taken care of by AEF. Alva's Pragati is open not only for the students of AEF but also open to the student aspirants across the country.

Mr Alva said that AEF has been and is committed to the cause of creating employment opportunities for the rural youth that go unnoticed as they have limited access to employment markets. Year by year we have upgraded this platform to make it more beneficial to the candidates and companies.

Alva's Pragati started with 38 companies participating in its first edition. Last year's Alva's Pragati witnessed the participation of 272 companies and over 18,000 job aspirants with more than 5,525 offers rolled out. Throughout this year we have conducted 106 exclusive and pool campus drives and 1043 students have got selected.

More representation of companies this year from sectors such as Manufacturing, IT, ITeS, Telecom, BFSi, Sales & Retail, Pharma, Hospitality, Healthcare, Education & NGO, and Defence.

The main objective of conducting this placement drive is to create opportunities by bringing together jobs and the young talent (aspirants) of the rural places. Most of these regions lack both opportunities and information about job avenues. This platform was primarily created for this purpose 7 years back.

After an intensified and dedicated organizing of the Udyoga melas' and Alva's Pragati we have understood the following:

1. Extensive opportunity for graduates across streams: There are a huge number of opportunities across sectors for graduates from various streams. Companies from sectors like Telecom, IT, Banking, Sales and Marketing etc would be hiring graduates from all streams.

2. Hotel management students should make use of this opportunity: Vast opportunities are available for Hotel Management graduates from many premier and star rated hotels, but very less number of candidates with hotel management qualification attend this drive. Request all hotel management graduates to make the best use of the offers in Alva's Pragati.

3. Good opportunities await nursing graduates: A good range of opportunities awaits nursing graduates from reputed hospitals in India and Middle-east countries. So we request all nursing graduates to attend Pragati in large numbers.

4. MLT candidates have great opportunity: Candidates with MLT qualifications are highly sought after, so candidates with this qualification should come to Pragati for leveraging this opportunity.

5. ITI/Diploma students are in high demand: ITI/Diploma candidates are in high demand with all manufacturing companies including those from the Automobile sector.

Various temples, including the famous Lord Krishna temple at Guruvayoor, a few churches and mosques opened in the state for the devotees. The Guruvayur shrine opened at 9.30 am and around 150 people, who had booked through virtual queue system, offered prayers.

Devotees wearing masks were seen standing adhering to the social distance norm. A faithful at the guruvayur temple said he had booked for darshan on Sunday and was happy to be offering worship after a long gap. "This is a realisation of a dream", he said.

In the state capital while the famed Lord Padmanabha swamy, Pazhavanangadi Ganapathy and Attukal Bhagavathy temples remained shut, the SreekanteshwaraShiva shrine and Lord Hanuman temple near the state assembly were among those which opened for darshan. The names, age and other details of the worshippers are also being collected by the temple authorities before letting people in. Another devotee said it was very painful not to go to the temple and expressed happiness over reopening of the shrines.

The virtual queue booking for devotees to offer worship at the hill shrine of Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala would commence from Wednesday. Devotees from other states have to produce a Covid-19 negative certificate while booking,sources in the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), administers the temple, said.

Most of the over 1,200 temples under the TDB, have opened while those under the Nair Service Society (NSS), an organisation of the Nair community and few other shrines were shut. The state government, which had come under attack from the BJP and Hindu Aikya vedi for opening the temples in a "hasty manner" has maintained that the decision was taken in line with the Centre's Unlock-1 guidelines and said those opposing the move had earlier wanted devotees to be allowed into the shrines.

As per the centre's Standard Operating Procedures, social distancing should be followed in all the places of worship and devotees should wear face mask are among other precautions in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Karwar, Aug 6: In a shocking incident, a 40-day-old girl child was murdered by her own parents in Sirsi town in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district.

The accused are Priyanka (21) and her husband Chandrashekhar Bhat (42), residents of Ramanakoppa in Sahasrahalli in Yellapur.

According to police, the couple did not want a girl child and hence threw it into a well. The couple was arrested by the police the very next day.

The incident came to light after the child’s maternal uncle, Abhishek Jagadeesh Singh Choudhari, a resident of Rajeev Nagar in Sirsi, lodge a complaint with Yellapur police station. 

He had claimed that his sister Priyanka’s baby had been kidnapped and subsequently killed. 

Priyanka had claimed that she woke up around 2.30am on August 2 to find that her baby, Tanushri, was not in her cradle. Her husband’s family subsequently started searching for the baby, which they found dead inside a well. 

Choudhari suspected that Tanushri had been kidnapped, and had been killed by her abductors to erase any evidence of their crime.

Uttara Kannada superintendent of police Shivaprakash Devaraju constituted a team to crack the crime, and the cops, who subjected the parents to an interrogation, found that they were the culprits.

Bengaluru, Jan 15: Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bengaluru has decided to remain shut for two days after a group of BJP workers wiped out graffiti on its outer walls claiming it as anti-Modi and allegedly warned them against any anti CAA agitation there.

According to sources, the group led by Yelahanka MLA S R Vishwanath allegedly even towed away some vehicles of students and faculty parked in front of the institute alleging that they were blocking the road and causing inconvenience to the local people.

Some students have alleged that they were threatened by BJP workers and also the institute's authorities regarding the graffiti and the blocking of the road using traffic police.

They even claimed that BJP workers warned them against organising any anti-NRC or CAA protests.

A few local residents are also said to have joined the BJP workers and raised complaints about the conduct of the institute's students.

According to local BJP workers, the MLA and a few party men had gone near the institute on receiving complaints from locals about vehicles parked there blocking the road, and when they came across the graffiti they painted it with saffron paint to avoid any controversy, and there was no altercation as being alleged.

However, there is no clarity on who drew the graffiti regarding Modi, which according to BJP workers allegedly depicted the PM in poor light.

The institute has declared holiday on Thursday and Friday to avoid any further escalation, keeping the interest and safety of students in mind, sources said.

Interestingly, on Tuesday graffiti had appeared overnight on the shutters of some shops and walls on the Church Street against Modi, CAA and NRC, following which the city police have launched an investigation.
