Addressing the meeting, Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy said that if there is a difference between marks awarded initially and on Challenge Valuation, the final marks shall be the average of the two awards.

 

In case the difference between the initial award and the final award is more than 10 per cent and is to the advantage of the candidate, then 50 per cent of the fee paid for the challenge valuation shall be refunded to the candidate. Grace marks shall not be taken into consideration for eligibility for refund of the challenge evaluation fee.

 

“Challenge valuation is permitted for all theory papers only. Answer scripts will be evaluated by a suitable external examiner selected from the panel of examiners approved by the Vice-Chancellor. However, such examiners should not have been valuers for that paper during the examination. The answer scripts for Challenge Valuation can also be sent to examiners or other universities, said VC.

 

12th Five Year Plan

 

The UGC had asked the University to submit the 12th Five Year Plan proposal after getting it duly approved by all the statutory bodies of the University.

 

Since the actual allocation of resources for the 12th Five Year Plan is yet to be finalised by the Government of India, the Universities have been requested to develop two parallel scenarios priority-wise, one with a hike of three times and another with a hike of five times of the 11th Five Year Plan allocation to University under both development of merged schemes.

 

Accordingly a committee was formed under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor to draft the 12th plan proposals and a document titled “ Inclusive and Qualitative Expansion of Higher Education” is prepared.

 

The proposals are presented in two scenarios and are further classified under Capital Head, General Head and Salary Head.

 

Under scenario I the University has proposed Rs 40.5 crores as the required fund.

 

In scenario II Rs 65.80 crores has been proposed as the required fund.

 

Committee for PG course

 

As a college has requested the University to grant permission to start Post Graduate course in Bharathanatyam and Karnatak Music, a committee was formed to frame guidelines of the course and syllabus under the Presidentiship of Sarsa College of Fine Arts and Science Principal Dr Arati Shetty, said Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankara Murthy.

Mangaluru, May 13: Union Minister and former Karnataka chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda today assured that he will exert pressure on the authorities concerned to operate more repatriate flights to bring back Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka. 

Speaking in a video conference organised by coastaldigest.com with Kannadiga delegates in Saudi Arabia, Mr Gowda said: “Today itself I will contact the external affairs ministry and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to convince them the need to add operate flights to bring back stranded Kannaidgas from the Kingdom.

After paying heed to the advices, requests and concerns of Kannadiga delegates that participated in the video conference, Mr Gowda said: “Two things need to be done. First thing is number of flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka should be increased. Second thing is to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangaluru Airport as most of the Kannadiga expats in Saudi Arabia are from the coastal region.

“There should be at least two to three flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka (Bengaluru Airport or Mangaluru Airport) every week. That is my intention,” he added.

Mangaluru, May 29: The southwest monsoon is expected to reach the Karnataka coast on June 1 or 2, earlier than forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Normally, Karnataka witnesses the onset of monsoon either five or six days after it had entered Kerala. However, this time, Karnataka will also witness the arrival of monsoon either on June 1 or June 2, according to meteorologists at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Cell (KSNDMC).

The gradual formation of two low-pressure areas over the Arabian Sea located close to the western peninsular coast and gaining momentum has helped Karnataka mark the start of the four-month-long rainy season expected to revive the back-to-back drought-stricken state.

Confirming the changes in the atmospheric pattern, Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director KSNDMC said, “Karnataka will also witness the onset of monsoon on the same time that of Kerala.”

The early onset of monsoon over Karnataka coast is attributed to prevailing to weather pattern over the Arabian Sea. 

“The two low-pressure areas over the Arabian Sea are steadily gaining momentum. They may reach the peak by the weekend and may concentrate further into depression causing widespread rainfall in the peninsular region and thereby advancing the onset of monsoon over the region,” Dr Reddy explained.

The KSNDMC, based on the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast, stated that due to 'prevailing favourable conditions over the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean regions', the monsoon will be normal and above normal over coastal and south-interior Karnataka according to the present scenario.

The IMD, which had initially issued a forecast of five-day delay in the onset, had issued a fresh forecast on Wednesday cautioning the states along the West coast about the formation of two intense low-pressure areas in South-East and East-Central Arabian Sea region.

Following the forecast, a yellow alert has also been issued in Kerala and coastal areas suggesting significant rainfall starting from this weekend. “Fishermen have also been advised not to venture into deep-sea due to high turbulent conditions,” an IMD official revealed.
