Mysuru, Jan 8: Karnataka Governor Vajubhai R Vala, who is known for his controversial statements, on Thursday advised the girls not to go to “as though they were going to a beauty contest”

valaSpeaking at the valedictory event of the Indian Science Congress here, Mr Vala who has a strong RSS background, expressed displeasure over college girls wearing lipstick and trimming their eyebrows.

Though boys and girls were equally intelligent, girls are more serious in studies than boys, he said. But, he said, there was no need for girls to be fashionable while attending college.

The Governor asked boys to guard themselves against falling prey to unhealthy addictions.

Mr. Vala said the present generation of children was very intelligent. “A small boy can repeat fluently an entire advertisement that he would have seen on TV sometime earlier. During our times, we were unable to understand lessons even if our teacher taught them thrice,” Mr. Vala said jocularly.

The present-day youth were scoring very high marks in exams, he said. “Securing 90 to 95 marks has become the norm now. When we were studying, such high marks would be the total of three years,” the Governor said in a lighter vein.

It is a inbuilt nature in girls and womens that they love to beautify themselves but it will be dangerous to her when she uncovers her beauty to all kind of men. Good men look other women in a respectable manner but there are bad men who look at different angle. So there is a hijab for women in Islam and hijab for men is to look down when he sees other women.

New Delhi, Jun 11: The Department of Pharmaceuticals has given its nod for lifting of ban on the export of hydroxychloroquine, Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said on Wednesday.

India had banned export of hydroxychloroquine on March 25, with some exceptions, amid views in some quarters that the drug could be used to fight COVID-19. On April 4, it completely banned the exports without any exception.

"Department of Pharmaceuticals has approved the lifting of ban on export of Hydroxychloroquine API as well as formulations. Manufacturers except SEZ/EOU Units have to supply 20 per cent production in the domestic market," the minister of chemicals and fertilisers said in a tweet.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has been asked to issue formal notification in this regard, he added.

In another tweet, Gowda said he held discussions with representatives of pharma companies along with some of his ministerial colleagues on the challenges being faced by the industry and on the roadmap to boost exports.

"Had detailed discussion with representatives of pharma companies & association, stakeholder Ministries along with Hon Ministers @piyushGoyal  ji, @HardeepSPuri  ji, & @MansukhMandviya  ji on entire gamut of challenges faced by the industry as well as strategies to boost pharma export," Gowda tweeted.

India exported hydroxychloroquine API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) worth USD 1.22 billion in April-January 2019-20.

During the same period, exports of formulations made from hydroxychloroquine was at USD 5.50 billion.
