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

Many pro bjp kannadigas opposed while Kerala govt took same decision. They wanted to remove kasargod that

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

Pakistan turns locusts into chicken feed; India should adopt same method: RSS affiliate

News Network

New Delhi, May 29: Opining that there is no harm in importing ideas from abroad Swadeshi Jagran Manch, an affiliate of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has suggested that India should take a cue from Pakistan and turn the “locust threat” into “chicken feed.

In an interview, Ashwani Mahajan, national co-convener of Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) said: “I saw an article which shows that Pakistan has turned the locust threat into an opportunity by converting it into chicken feed”

“If there is a good idea originating from anywhere, we should be open to exploring such ideas. We should adopt good ideas. There is no harm in that,” he added.

He also shared the article on Twitter and wrote: “Pakistan turns locust threat into chicken feed. Need to understand the idea and replicate it in India.”

The article stated “an innovative pilot project in Pakistan’s Okara district offers a sustainable solution in which farmers earn money by trapping locusts that are turned into high-protein chicken feed by animal feed mills”.

“It was the brainchild of Muhammad Khurshid, a civil servant in the Ministry of National Food Security and Research, and Johar Ali, a bio-technologist from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council,” according to the article.

Both Pakistan and India have been hit by locust attacks. These are desert locusts, which is one of the 12 species of short-horned grasshoppers. Swarms can comprise billions and travel up to 130 km in a day.

India has been battling the locust attacks with moderate success since December. However, the onset of monsoon could bring more trouble.
