Udupi, Jan 24: Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resources Development, has predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win all seats of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts and come to power in Karnataka with a two-thirds majority.

Addressing a meeting of the heads of various units of the BJP here on Tuesday, he said that the people were fed up with the four-and-a-half years rule of the Congress in the State. The Congress had got associated with corruption, hypocrisy and family. It was only the BJP which could give good governance in the State under the leadership of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

He said, the BJP already had 19 States under its rule in the country. The only big State under the Congress was Karnataka. People were impressed by the leadership provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. It was Mr. Modi who had given an impetus to the economy of the country.

He said that during the Congress rule, the transfer of IAS and IPS officers had become routine. The latest was that of the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H. and Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari from Hassan despite public demand to retain them.

He said that it was unusual to effect so many transfers especially when the elections were nearing.

The Congress had little to solve the problem of sand shortage. While sand was available at Rs. 3,000 per truckload during Mr. Yeddyurappa’s rule, it was now being sold at Rs. 18,000 per truckload.

He said that the Goa government and its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had wanted to resolve the Mahadayi water dispute, but it was the intransigent attitude of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah that was responsible for the breakdown in talks. The Congress MLAs in Goa too were opposed to a resolution of the dispute.

He said, over 20 activists of the Sangh Parivar had been murdered during the last four-and-a-half years, but no action had been taken. The withdrawal of cases against the Social Democratic Party of India, the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity was the reason for the murders, he said.

Though silt had accumulated in the dams at Baje and Shiroor in Udupi district, the State government had done little or nothing to remove it. With the result, the farmers were affected by it. But the Congress, an “anti-farmer party,” was least bothered about it, Mr. Javadekar said.

Bengaluru, May 29: A cost-effective state of the art glove box testing booth for swab collection was inaugurated by Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar at Victoria hospital.

Inaugurating the specially designed booth for safer, easier and quicker testing, Medical Education Minister Dr Sudhakar said that the portable booths can be used at border check posts and hot spots.

"The testing method involves the collection of samples from inside a box of aluminium and glass. The suspected corona virus-infected individual, whose samples are being taken, has to walk up to the booth and stand in front of the glass exterior. The healthcare worker inside the kiosk collects the sample and then, follows the sanitisation process before proceeding to take the next sample. The collection process, fully contactless, gets over in five minutes," the Minister said.

Dr Sudhakar also said: "This booth significantly reduces manpower requirement and the need for PPE kits. The main advantages of this procedure are that it needs fewer healthcare workers and strictly adheres to the norms of social distancing. 

The booth is low-cost. Each model costs about Rs 15,000-20,000."
It is also portable and can be mounted on a vehicle and transported to any location.

It can be particularly useful for collecting samples in hot spots and border checkpoints, he added.

Bengaluru, Jan 19: Australia has conferred its highest civilian honour, the Order of Australia honour, on Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw for her contribution towards advancing the country's relationship with India.

Australia's High Commissioner to India Harinder Sidhu invested Mazumdar-Shaw as an Honorary Member within the Order of Australia (AM) in the General Division at a ceremony in Bengaluru on Friday, the Australian High Commission said in a statement.

An alumnus of Federation University Australia, Mazumdar-Shaw is the founder of Biocon, one of India's largest bio-pharmaceutical companies.

She contributes immensely to promoting women in STEM through the joint research programmes developed between Biocon and Deakin University, Australia, as part of her deep and long-standing commitment to gender equality, the statement said.

Mazumdar-Shaw - an Australian Global Alumni Ambassador - is also recognised for her sustained and significant contribution to industry academia collaboration between Australia and India, it said.

The ceremony was attended by representatives from Indian and Australian business, the diplomatic corps, and family, friends and peers of Mazumdar-Shaw, the statement said.

Speaking at the event, Sidhu said, "Dr Mazumdar-Shaw is a tireless champion of the commercial, educational, and people-to-people links between our two countries, and this award recognises her commitment to progressing the Australia-India partnership."

Honorary appointments in the Order of Australia are made to foreign nationals who have made an outstanding contribution to Australia or humanity at large.

Mazumdar-Shaw is the fourth Indian citizen to be awarded Australia's highest civilian honour.

This follows the conferment of superstar batsman Sachin Tendulkar in 2012, Former Attorney General of India Soli Jehangir Sorabjee in 2006, and Mother Teresa of Kolkata (Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu) in 1982.
