Bengaluru, Sept 13: In the wake of the political retaliation threat issued by the Vokkaligas against the Bharatiya Janata Party following the arrest of community stalwart D K Shivakumar by the Enforcement Directorate, the Karnataka state government led by the saffron party has decided to construct a massive statue of Bengaluru founder Kempegowda near the city's international airport.

The move is apparently aimed at appeasing the Vokkaliga community which has threatened to teach a lesson to BJP in coming days for targeting the community leaders through the agencies of union government. On Friday morning, citizens woke up to an article authored by Yediyurappa published in several Kannada dailies through which he announced his plans.

"The Karnataka government has resolved to make Kempegowda immortal. The Kempegowda Development Authority had remained as a mere announcement. The previous governments gave nothing for this, but our government has decided to reconstitute it and give it Rs 100 crore," Yediyurappa wrote.

"Also, the government has decided to establish a massive statue of Kempegowda in front of the Kempegowda International Airport. This will not be mere symbolism, but will also be a collective that will showcase Kempegowda's history and culture. The infrastructure necessary will be provided here to attract tourists who can learn more about Kempegowda. The literature on Kempegowda's vision for Bengaluru will be brought out in Kannada and English," the CM wrote, adding that the Authority had been tasked with coming out with a sound-and-light show to depict Kempegowda as the architect of modern Bengaluru.

Benglauru, June 14: Even as schools are divided over providing online education, the state Higher Education Department is stressing on continuing online education.

Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan has stressed the need for digital learning to eliminate educational inequalities.

Taking part in a Webinar on ‘Digitising Higher Education - Challenges and Opportunities,’ organised by the Padmashree Institute of Management, he asked educational institutions to give emphasis to digital learning.

“Digital learning is a means to ensure quality education to all sections of the society without discrimination on the basis of caste, region and religion. This is a solution to eliminate discrimination. Through digital learning, a student in a remote village will also get an opportunity to learn from an experienced and highly qualified teacher.”

In addition to this, students are getting study material in digital form. Keeping these important aspects in mind, all educational institutions should give stress to digital learning without wasting any time,’’ he said.

He, however, admitted that digital learning has its own challenges like - quality internet connectivity, laptops and mobile gadgets.

“We are trying to find a solution to it by raising funds through Corporate Social Responsibility or through government funds,” he said. “We are making efforts to provide 4G network across the State,” he said.

Use our money for corona patients. Dont waste tax payers money.

For Ayodhya pilgrims, Spend from your BJP looted money.

Our ruling govt is only interested in RAM Mandir and spending crores of rupees for the temple. Why the other community is not demanding fund from the GOVT?

Not bothered about the development of the country as currently we have no idea how to tackle the corona viurs. Ministers are keen on builing Guest house for pilgrims, Statue of RAM etc etc.

Please concentrate on how to minimise the Virus issue in KARNAKATA like other Gulf countries.
