Delivering the presidential address at the inaugural session, MLC Captain Ganesh Karnik said that the purpose of education should be 'man-making' and nation-building as said by Swami Vivekananda. “Education should not be confined for ranks and certificates”, he added.

He also quoted author Robin Sharma, who stated the purpose of Education is 'enlightenment'.

Appreciating the D Ed Students for choosing teaching field, Mr. Karnik said that most of the people today do not wish to enter into the fields like military, politics or teaching as the two most favourite fields of new generation are medical and engineering.

He said that in teaching profession, people would get happiness and peace.

However, he pointed out there are problems in teaching field too, as there are only four lakh teachers for over one crore and 14 lakh students of various classes across Karnataka.

He advised: “With a mission that 'little for self and everything for society' and loving a student as your own child, you can be a good teacher.” To become an effective teacher one has to go ahead with research along with teaching, he added.

Manjula Shetty Compered the programme.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
