Mangaluru, Dec 28: Four students from the Centre for Advanced Learning (CFAL) have qualified the Regional Mathematics Olympiads (RMO). It is a matter of pride that out of the 41 students (30 students (Class 8-11 + 5 Girls quota + 6 class XII students) selected from Karnataka, four are CFAL students. The students now qualify to the next level, i.e. Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO) to be held on 19th January, 2020 and are also invited to attend the INMO training camp to be held at ISI, Bangalore from Jan. 15-18, 2020. In addition to this, 20 students are invited to attend the INMO training camp and CFAL student, Druhan Rajiv Shah is one among them.

About 1100 students from all over India are selected for the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad which will take place on January 20, 2020 in various centres across India. The marks acquired in this stage will lead to selection of 30-35 students for a training camp. The camp will be a basis for the selection of 6 students who will represent the country in International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO).

The celebrity students from CFAL are Shreyas Adiga (Class X), Shreepoorna Rao (Class XI), Rakshitha (Class XI) and Praneetha Kalbhavi (Class X). It is noteworthy to mention that Druhan, Shreepoorna Rao and Rakshitha are TLC PU College students.

About IMO -

The Mathematical Olympiad Programme in India, which leads to participation of Indian students in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), is organized by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) on behalf of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India.

The first stage examination is the Pre-Regional Mathematical Olympiad (PRMO), students who qualify PRMO advance to the second stage examination, The Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO). 60 students from CFAL had qualified the PRMO examination this year. The problems under each topic at the RMO level involve high level of difficulty and sophistication.

The best-performing students from the RMO qualify for the third stage – the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO). The top students from the INMO (approximately 35) are invited for the fourth stage, the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) held at HBCSE during April to May. At this camp orientation is provided to students for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Emphasis is laid on developing conceptual foundations and problem-solving skills. Several selection tests are held during this camp. On the basis of performance in these tests six students are selected to represent India at the IMO. Resource persons from different institutions across the country are invited to the training camps. The selected team undergoes a rigorous training programme for about 8-10 days at HBCSE prior to its departure for the IMO. The Olympiad programme culminates with the participation of the students in the IMO.

CFAL – the best results in town!

CFAL at Mangalore has been creating and recreating history with its results in various STEM related exams. However, what stands out as an exceptional achievement for them is the fact that their students have done tremendously well at the Olympiads. Their student, Aditya Prakash from CFAL represented India at the International Math Olympiad, a first in Karnataka after 21 years. Besides, Prathyush Poduval had won a silver medal at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics in IOAA 2018. It is also noteworthy to mention that the students who qualify for RMO every year are CFAL students. With the race for the 2020 Mathematic Olympiad already begun, we wish CFAL students beat their own record and reaffirm the fact that they are the best in town.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 7: Making a scathing attack on the Central government, Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac on Friday said the BJP-led NDA government was "strangulating" the southern state by denying funds.

Presenting the 2020-21 budget of the Pinarayi Vijayan led-LDF government, he alleged the centre has been "helping" corporates rather that the common man.

"The Centre has been strangulating Kerala by denying funds for the state and has been moving on a self-destructive path by corporate-friendly policies and privatisation. The GST implementation has not been beneficial for the state," he said.

"The government proposes 2.5 lakh water connections in the upcoming financial year. We will also construct one lakh houses under Life Mission," the finance minister said.

The budget has allocated Rs 90 crore for Pravasi Welfare Fund and the government proposes power projects with a capacity of 500 MW.

"The government proposes Kochi development plan with a fund of Rs 6,000 crore. The city will get an unified travel card and Metro project will be extended," Issac said.

The state government has increased all welfare pension funds by Rs 100, allotted Rs 40 crore to paddy farmers and Rs 10 crore for startups in the state.

The local self-governments have been allotted Rs five crore for waste management, Rs 20 crore has been set apart for 1,000 food stalls under hunger-free Kerala, where meals will be made available at Rs 25.

Bengaluru, Jan 3: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured him to consider all the demands made by his government.

"Prime Minister spoke to me personally and assured me of all help and suggested that I visit New Delhi and meet the concerned Ministers and apprise them about the state's problems and pending projects. He also directed me to prepare a detail report on this matter," Yediyurappa said in a statement.

He claimed that a section of media has misinterpreted his speech which was plain and honest towards the development of the state.

"A section of media has attached motive to my speech which was plain and honest in its content. Being in federal set up, there is nothing wrong with placing the facts before the Prime Minister and making submissions," the Chief Minister said.

"As a Chief Minister, I placed our state's problems and need for more funds for developmental activities. I pleaded before the Prime Minister for more funds to the relief work, the scientific and remunerative price for the farm produces, and special fund of Rs 50,000 crore for speeding up of on-going irrigation work. As it was farmers' meet, I felt it worthy and timely to plead the Prime Minister for more funds for all the developmental activities in the state," he said.

Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a great visionary and his concern for the poor and farmers is unquestionable, he said: "When the whole world is appreciating his statesmanship and visionary zeal, it is in very bad taste for the media to attribute motives to my speech and relate it to the Prime Minister."

Yediyurappa requested media to show support to his government in the interest of the development of the state.

"I humbly request the electronic and print media not to misinterpret but support the government in the interest of the development of the state and interests of the people. I hope the media will respond to my request," he said.
