Recently, while speaking in Andhra pradesh , our Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said Telugu must be compulsory in AP & Karnataka is following his advice , GOOD move , ALL should welcome it.

If someone has no use of Kannada, why should the language be forced on him or her to learn ? Like Army employees children.

First enroll K.J. George, Tanvir Sait and all those ministers who are bad in Kannada. Not only speaking but also reading & writing. Many ministers Kannada speaking style is so bad, they speak horrible Kannada. Teach them good and decent Kannada first. Many minister and Government officials speak Telugu better than Kannada. You go anywhere, you will see Telugu speakers in Vidhan Souda also. This is the state of Kannada. Our loving Kannada. Our mother Kannada.

Local languages should get prominents. It should be promoted

Siddaramaiah govt doing great.. he should be reelected for the next time also

Good decision... all states should take the same decision to promote mother tongue

High Court stays ban imposed by Karnataka govt on online classes

News Network

July 8,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 8: In a setback to the State government, the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday stayed the initial ban and the subsequent restrictions imposed on schools against conducting online classes from pre-primary to Class X.

Prima facie the ban and embargo imposed on online education violate Articles 21 and 21A of the Constitutionon the fundamental right to education, the Court said.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Nataraj Rangaswamy passed the interim order staying the operation of Government Orders issued on June 15 and June 27 respectively.

The Bench passed the interim order on the petitions filed by parents of children and several educational institutions questioning the legality of the ban and the restrictions imposed.

However, the Bench made it clear that this order should not be construed that the schools have right to make online education compulsory and can charge fee for offering online education. Also, the schools should not deprive students, who cannot opt for online education, the lost education when the schools reopen on regular basis.
