S M Rashid Haji, the president of the Association told media persons on Tuesday that they have already distributed cards to around 85 beneficiaries.

“Today, we distributed beneficiary cards, health cards and free SIM cards to the sole bread winners of 32 poor families. In the past we had distributed such cards to over 50 beneficiaries,” he said.

He said that aspirants of the beneficiary cards can still apply for the same with a certificate from their jurisdictional mosque jamaaths. The last date to submit applications is November 30, 2016.

The intention behind the formation of the Association was to help the poor families in case of the sudden demise of their breadwinners. The Association will donate Rs 2 lakh to the family of each beneficiary card holder after his or her demise.

The families of only those who get beneficiary cards from DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. They beneficiaries will also be eligible to get free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte.

He said that the Association will distribute beneficiary cards the poor men or women only if they were the breadwinners of their family. “Cards will not be distributed to those who don't work,” he clarified.

Donors Mansoor Azad, Shaukath, Asif Home Plus and Sulaiman Karaya were present on the occasion.

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.

New Delhi, Jan 26: On the occasion of the 71st Republic Day, Karnataka state's tableau depicted the philosophy of Basaveshwara and the concept of Anubhava Mantapa (Centre for Experience), which was the socio-religious centre that existed in the present-day Basava Kalyana of Bidar district in Karnataka.

It is regarded as the first religious parliament in the history of mankind.

This 12th-century centre has a special significance in the history of humanity, as it represents composite culture, philosophy, spirituality, equality among other universal human values.

These values were propagated by the saint and social reformer- Basaveshwara and other sharanas- followers of Basava philosophy of the socio-religious movement.

It is significant that representatives of Anubhava Mantapa were nominated based on their spiritual attainment, regardless of caste, class and sect they belonged and thus discarded the differentiation of human beings as higher or lower, on the basis of birth, occupation and gender.

The front part of the tableau has the replica of Basaveshwara preaching his most cherished value - "Work is Worship".

For Republic Day Parade 2020, a total of 56 tableaux proposals (32 from states/UTs and 24 from Ministries/Departments) were received. Out of these, 22 were shortlisted for participation in the Republic Day Parade 2020.
