Addressing a press meet in Bengaluru on Wednesday,?Social?Welfare Minister H?Anjaneya said that the “Devaraj Urs Pratibha Puraskara” with cash awards ranging between Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000 will be provided to 2,500 students of OBC communities who have secured 90 per cent marks.

The income of the students’ families should not exceed Rs one lakh per annum. “A sum of Rs 10,000 will be paid to 1,000 SSLC?students, Rs 15,000 to 500 II?PU students, Rs 20,000 to 500 degree students and Rs 25,000 to 500 students studying in professional institutions,” the minister said.

The department will provide assistance to the tune of Rs 10 lakh per annum for 100 students who wish to study aboard.

Candidates whose family income is below Rs six lakh per annum and who score a minimum of 60 per cent in their degree or postgraduate examination can apply for the “Devaraj Urs Study Abroad scheme”.

Under another scheme named after Urs, research scholars pursuing PhDs will be given a monthly stipend of Rs 5,000 per month for three years.

Details of the schemes are available on the website www.backwardclasses.kar.nic.in. Students can apply online by logging on to their website. Post-martic students of Other Backward Classes looking for government hostel facilities can also apply online from the same portal.

Hostel facilities

Last year, as many as 90,765 students were provided free hostel facilities in 869 hostels belonging to the Social Welfare Department.

The minister said an expert committee will be constituted soon to bring out a book on the life and times of Urs. A series of functions will be organised across the state on August 20, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Urs.

Bengaluru, Jun 18: With Karnataka observing 'Mask Day' today, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said that the state has organised a walk from Vidhana Soudha to Cubbon Park to create awareness about the importance of wearing a mask as a preventive measure against COVID-19.

"We are celebrating 'Mask Day' at all district headquarters today. We have organised a walk from Vidhana Soudha (to Cubbon Park) to create awareness about the importance of wearing a mask as a preventive measure against COVID-19," Yediyurappa told media persons here.

Earlier, the Chief Minister has said that film actors and sports personalities will take part in the event and it will be celebrated in all taluks as well.

"We will take strict action against those who are not maintaining social distancing. A fine of Rs 200 will be imposed on those for not wearing a mask in public places," he had said.

As many as 7,530 people have detected positive for COVID-19 in Karnataka, of which 94 people have succumbed to the infection till date, as per the Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Monday said he would not get involved in any 'wicked act' of bringing down the B S Yediyurappa-led government in Karnataka, amid claims that 15 to 20 BJP MLAs were ready to come out.

Clarifying that he would not disturb the government, the former Chief Minister said for him, the development of the state was important. "With great difficulty, you (Yediyurappa) have become Chief Minister for the fourth time, (I am) happy, I have nowhere said that I will disturb your government. Even now some people come and ask why I'm sitting silent when 15-20 people are ready to come out of BJP and why don't I make an attempt (to poach them), Kumaraswamy said. Speaking to reporters in Hassan, he sought to know why he should get entangled in that 'sludge' and he was not in a hurry.

"I will not get involved in a wicked act of removing a responsible government like Yediyurappa did. For me the development of the state is important," he said.

Though Kumaraswamy had raised questions about the longevity of the BJP government ahead of the December 5 bypolls, he had even then given clear indications that he would not attempt to pull down the administration as it would affect the development of the state.

The ruling BJP had swept the by-elections by winning 12 of the total 15 seats, helping the Yediyurappa government retain the majority in the Assembly.

With BJP winning 12 of the 15 assembly constituencies, it's numbers went up from 105 (including an independent) to 117, which is well ahead of the halfway mark of 111 in a 223-member Assembly (two seats-- Maski and R R Nagar-- are vacant due to pending litigation in the High Court).

The BJP came to power after the Kumaraswamy-led Congress-JD(S) coalition government collapsed as 17 MLAs had rebelled against the alliance leadership and resigned as legislators, to later favour the saffron party.
