Dr. H S Ballal, Pro-Chancellor of Manipal University and Member of TAPMI Governing Council declared the Convocation open. The Dean of Academics, TAPMI, Prof Simon George welcomed the gathering. This was followed by the annual report of TAPMI's activities and achievements by Dr. Saji Gopinath, Director of TAPMI.

The chief guest, Dr Narendra Jadhav presented the medals and diplomas to the graduating students. Dr Saji Gopinath then administered the oath to the graduates.

Dr. Narendra Jadhav released the annual TAPMI 'UPDATE' magazine and handed it over to the other guests on the dais.

Dr. Jadhav addressed this momentous gathering by speaking about the importance of management graduates in this competitive world. He talked about how the demographic dividend and the pace of growth of the country are of advantage to the young leaders. Dr. Jadhav also emphasized on the liberalization of the Indian economy in the last 20 years, and how that has tremendously improved the standard of living of the people.

However, he mentioned that the benefits of these reforms have not been evenly distributed across the different strata of the society, nor have the job creation opportunities increased. Dr. Jadhav also talked about India's poor human development index as one of the biggest weaknesses of the country. He also spoke about inflation as a big burden for the country. Hence, India faces a major challenge in balancing economic growth with social growth. Dr. Jadhav was, however, optimistic about the future of the country. He emphasized that never in the history of India have the people been so confident and commanded respect from the rest of the world.

In this context, Dr. Jadhav advised the graduating batch that in order to achieve success in life, they have to aim high, strive to achieve what they want, manage their time effectively, focus on quality, value the important people in their lives, and most importantly, maintain a positive attitude throughout their lives.


Prof. Chowdari Prasad, Dean-Planning & Development, TAPMI proposed the vote of thanks. Dr. Ballal declared the Convocation ceremony closed.

Mysuru, Jan 27: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday refused to field questions on the state’s finances, merely saying his budget on March 5 will do the talking. The question came in the wake of Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition, claiming recently that the state’s coffers were dry and its finances were in the doldrums.

However, Yediyurappa insisted the state’s finances were sound and it will be better once promises made by the business community during his trip to Davos turn into concrete investment.

“I will present the budget for 2020-21 on March 5. People will then know about the state’s financial position,” Yediyurappa said during a visit to Suttur Mutt on Sunday. “I will answer Siddaramaiah’s comments during the forthcoming budget session of the state legislature. The Davos meet I attended will benefit the state immensely. It will bring huge investments that will promote industry and agriculture growth and various job-generation activities.”

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
