Minister promises grant for Tailors' Bhavan

September 21, 2011

Mangalore, September 21: District-In-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar assured to take steps to provide Rs 40 lakhs to realise the demand of the Karnataka State Tailors' Association for the construction of 'Tailors' Bhavan' at the tailors district convention and pension card distribution programme organised at Town Hall on Tuesday.

Speaking after inaugurating the programme, he said that 2,074 people in the State have received the new pension scheme. Of this, 1,021 are the tailors from the undivided DK district. Efforts will be made to increase the benefits granted by State government under the new pension scheme from five to 10 years, he added.

Appreciating the crowd who attended the convention, Palemar said that the tailors have set an example that with unity, one can get benefits for his community. Tailors who were considered as unorganised labourers have proved themselves as organised, he added.

Several initiatives have been introduced by the government for people of the backward community and these can be availed by tailors. One can avail scholarship, fund for weddings, pregnancy benefits, pension schemes and others, he said.

Karnataka Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Yogish Bhat said that he had put a lot of efforts to bring the unorgnaised labourers welfare fund committee into being. As a result, the new pension scheme brings a lot of benefits to the labourers. Apart from beedi, one profession that reaches every house is tailoring and hence it plays a huge role in the development of the community, he added.

Association Chief Secretary Vishwanath Shettigar said that DK District has 16,901 tailors and the state has 10 lakh tailors. In DK District, 610 people have received cards under the new pension scheme and in Udupi 593 have received them.

Submitting a memorandum to the District-In-Charge Minister, the association requested for the benefits of the National Health Bhima Scheme for tailors, wedding fund for girls who are practicing tailoring, pregnancy benefits, scholarships, fund for building houses, retirement benefits for senior citizens and other benefits.

Palemar responded positively to the benefits. MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLA Ramanth Rai, MLA U T Khader were present among others.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka high court on Tuesday directed the government to submit steps taken in respect of the order of Lokyukta in relation to the Kethaganahalli landgrab case involving former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, his relatives and former minister DC Thammanna.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka gave the direction on a PIL filed by Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS), an NGO. The petitioner said despite an order from the Lokayukta on August 5, 2014, to take action within 15 days, no action has been initiated till date in respect of encroachment of a huge tract of land in Kethaganahalli along Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.

SPS says the land was purchased in 1979 contrary to norms of Karnataka Land Revenue Act. It claims Kumaraswamy and others paid only Rs 5,000 per acre, although the prevailing market rate was Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per acre.
