Udupi, June 20: In yet another case of reckless evaluation, an SSLC?student from Brahmavar in Udupi district has been denied marks for ''change'' in her handwriting in the 23-page answer scripts.

Sandhya G S, a student of Kota Viveka Girls High School was shocked when she got low marks in Kannada. She had secured 96 in Social Science, 93 in Mathematics, 82 in Social Studies, 90 in Hindi and 79 in English. But, she was flabbergasted when she got just 66 out of 125 in Kannada, while she expected more than 120.

She applied for a photocopy of the answer script on May 16, which was sent after delaying for a month, on June 18, after the parents sent a reminder to the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board.

Sandhya was surprised to find that she had actually got 123 marks in?Kannada. The number was erased and rewritten as 66, docking an astronomical 56 marks!

When she flipped pages, she found that from page 9 to 23, the answers were evaluated but marks were cut for changing handwriting. On top of every page, a remark was made stating: 'No marks were given for change in handwriting'.

“There is a rule that the student has to take signature of invigilator while using the pen with different ink. But, here she could not maintain her handwriting in all the 23 pages. Even the evaluator doesn't seem to know Kannada well as the remarks indicated,” said her parents, Surekha and Kota Shivananada, an Yakshagana artiste.

Even in the valuator's remarks on all the pages, the syntax was wrong. Worse, the valuator's handwriting changed from page to page, a ground on which Sandhya was penalised, they said. They questioned the rationale of expecting the student to maintain the same style of writing throughout the answer script, and deducting marks if there was change.Now studying in Kota Viveka PU College, Sandhya has applied for revaluation

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka Congress leaders held a protest against the state government against amending of APMC Act, at the premises of Vidhan Soudha here.

Few days ago, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa had said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM tweeted.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
