Mangalore, December 20: Preparations are going on in full strength for the 17th National Youth Festival which will commence in Mangalore from January 12. The event which is organised for the first time in the district will be organised with all grandeur and in a disciplined manner, said District-in-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar.

Presiding over a preparatory meeting of the people's representatives at Zilla Panchayat Hall on Monday, the Minister said that necessary arrangements will be made for accommodating the participants and guests at hotels and college and university hostels.

He also said that provisions will be made to issue the government and private bus passes to students who wish to visit Mangalore to watch the events.

On the inaugural programme, Deputy Commissioner Chennappa Gowda said that the inaugural procession will be held with grandeur depicting the culture and tradition of Tulunadu. Alva's Education Foundation has taken up the responsibility of organising the procession, which will have over 500 artistes. It will be accompanied by 200 artistes playing 'Chende' and 'Kombu'. “As many as 16 committees have been constituted and each committee is assigned with a task. Some of the committees include organising committee, executive committee, registration committee, food and accommodation committee, transport sub committee, protocol sub committee,” he said.

Meanwhile, the DC also said that holidays will not be declared for the schools and colleges on account of the festival. Two days of the festival will fall on the government holidays i.e on January 14 and 15. However, no holiday will be declared, but permission will be granted for the teachers to attend the festival.

Zilla Panchayat member Mamatha Gatti insisted on involving Youth Club members of the district in the festival activities, for which the DC agreed to send intimation to the youth clubs. Corporator Appi requested to provide a platform for the talented differently abled youth to exhibit their talent during the festival. The District-in-Charge Minister replied positively. It was also decided to illuminate the entire city.

MLA Ramanath Rai and Zilla Panchayat member M S Mohammad complained that they were not officially informed about the preparatory meeting.

Shivamogga, Feb 24: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday said that he has been invited at the banquet hosted for US President Donald Trump at Rashtrapathi Bhavan on Tuesday, but, he is yet to decide on his presence.

“I have been invited, but I have various engagements and work, let’s see. I have not yet decided on what to do. It is true that I got the invitation,” he told reporters here.

"President of a powerful and rich country like United States of America visiting India is not a normal thing. He (Trump) has said that he personally shares good relationship with Prime Minister Modi and has confidence in him…let’s wait and see", Mr Yediyurappa said in reply to a question.

Bengaluru, May 28: A thousand government schools in Karnataka are set to get Englishmedium sections from this academic year (2020-21). These institutions will function in both English and Kannada medium.

The decision was taken by primary and secondary education minister S Suresh Kumar and officials of the education department at a meeting on Wednesday.

Suresh Kumar said dualmedium will help improve the standard of schools and enable their development. The poorest of the poor spend almost 40% of their income on their children’s education in private schools. With the introduction of dual-medium, the government hopes such families will be able to save their earnings, he said. These schools will impart lessons in both English and Kannada. They will also provide textbooks in both languages.

‘Kannada must for all’

The meeting reviewed implementation of the compulsory Kannada Language Learning Act, 2015. Officials from the Kannada Development Authority were present at the meeting who claimed that some private schools have failed to implement the Act properly.

“Action will be taken against such institutions. Every child studying in schools across the state must learn Kannada,” Kumar said at the meeting.
