Mangaluru, Nov 17: Where there's a will to convert black money into white without paying penalty, there's always a way! And, the heads of the educational institutions in Mangaluru, the city of 'intelligent' people, have found an easiest way to counter thejihad' against black money.

1balckwhiteAccording to reliable sources, a few city based professional college, have asked some of their students, who had paid huge donations and fees a few months ago, to collect the money back in the form of denominated notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 and return new currency notes after exchanging them in banks.

A Keralite student of a paramedical college in Mangaluru told coastaldigest.com on condition of anonymity that many of her batch mates have been asked to return their fee receipts. The college will give them the receipts only after they help the college to exchange the denominated currency notes through their personal accounts.

Ironically, the students who had paid fees through cheques are also being used as money mules by the professional colleges. The unethical practice of the colleges has caused inconveniences to several poor parents, who had sold their gold ornaments to pay the huge donations and fees months ago.

It is learnt that some students have paid more than Rs 3 lakh donations and fees to get seats in professional courses. The parents of those students are now in a quandary as the deposit above Rs 2.5 lakh will come under scanner.

Bengaluru, Apr 18: Amid fears that people from the unorganised sector are running out of cash to meet their daily expenses, the Karnataka government said there was no data available for such labourers, who can be provided financial assistance under the direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme.

"The government does not have data of people in the unorganised sector such as drivers, farmers, domestic help and others. If we have to deposit directly into their account, we need data..," State Labour minister A Shivaram Hebbar told reporters.

The minister said a situation borne out of the COVID-19, where the entire nation has been lockdown was never anticipated.

To him, the pandemic has given an opportunity to gather information about the unorganised sector.

"This COVID-19 has taught the department and the workers a lesson that we should be prepared for a situation like this. We have learnt that all the information about labourers should be available with the labour department," Hebbar conceded.

The minister opined that the department should have had the list during the good times but nobody bothered to have it.

"During the good times nobody bothered about it -- neither they (beneficiaries) asked for it, nor we thought of it.," Hebbar said.

Now that the pandemic has struck, the government is focusing only on not letting anyone starve to death.

A three-level preparation has been made -- at the village level, Taluk level and the city level, the minister said.

Village anganwadis have been stuffed with food items to be cooked for the needy, whereas in Taluk level, government hostels have been turned into shelters for the labourers, he said, noting that lakhs of philanthropists in cities have come forward to feed the people from unorganised sector.

"The basic objective of our government is that no one should starve to death. The issue of organised or unorganised sector comes next," he explained.

On the fear of large-scale retrenchment, the minister said notices have been served on all the industries that no one should be expelled from the job.

However, Hebbar underlined that the industrialists today are as much in distress as the workers and his department was taking into account everyone's concern.

A decision will be taken in this connection by the government in the next two days, to provide assistance to small enterprises to keep them afloat.
