Mangalore, June 29: Agriculture is a vital instrument for development of the country. However farmers have been neglected post-independence due to which farmer suicide is at peak. If central government fails to provide support price for the areca fruit than all state politicians will fight against government under one roof without any discrimination of political parties, said Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP.

He was speaking during the launching ceremony of Pooga Singar Deodorant Beauty Soap, made of areca fruit at Campco building here on Wednesday.

Mr. Nalin said that by inventing the soap through areca, people will come to understand the importance of such a fruit which results in high demand leading to better price.

He also blamed the government for granting fertile agricultural lands to Special Economic Zone, which is not in favour of betterment of the city.

Badanaje Shankar Bhat, inventor of the soap said that earlier areca was just limited to chewing purpose. Now due to lot of research work, a number of products can be produced with it like lipstick, tea powder, soft drinks, ink etc. and with alternate use, areca will get good market.


Areca will have a good market in the future, he added.

Shailaja K T Bhat, President, Zilla Panchayat, Mangalore, said that this type of invention will help attract youth towards agriculture. She also urged the Areca Research and Development team to continue their research on areca fruit.

Dr. D C Chowta, Former Botany Professor, Mangalore University, Konkodi Padmanabha Bhat, President, Campco Company and Shrinivas Acharya were present on the dias.

Bengaluru, Jan 11: India’s second-biggest IT company, Infosys Ltd, said it found no evidence of financial misconduct by its executives following a investigation into whistleblower complaints.

Bengaluru-headquartered Infosys, which earlier on Friday raised its revenue forecasts due to upbeat demand from Western clients, said an audit committee report exonerated Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh and Chief Financial Officer Nilanjan Roy of all allegations, including accusations that the duo prevented employees from presenting data on large deals.

“I’m very happy that CEO Salil Parekh and CFO Nilanjan Roy have emerged from this stronger,” Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani told reporters. “The last two years since Salil has been here the company has changed dramatically for the better.”

Parekh took over as Infosys CEO in January 2018, after his predecessor Vishal Sikka quit following a public row with the company’s founder executives amid whistleblower allegations of wrongdoing.

The company earlier said it expected revenue to grow between 10 per cent and 10.5 per cent on a constant currency basis in the year ending March 2020, compared with its previous forecast of between 9 per cent and 10 per cent.

“We continue to see momentum in the market and we have an extremely robust pipeline driven by segment leaders,” CEO Parekh told a news conference.

“With the strength of large deal wins and digital momentum, we were able to clearly see that we have support to raise our guidance.”
