Mangalore, January 29: Chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda inaugurated a two-day conference of Karnataka Science and Technology Academy (KSTA) on the theme 'New dimensions of science and technology: opportunities and challenges' at Mangalore University, Mangalagangothri near here, on Saturday.

Announcing Rs 2 crore for KSTA for 2012-13, Gowda said the state needs to strive to increase the percentage of enrolment for higher education. "Only 8-10% of youths in 18-24 age group enroll for higher education, which is very less compared to foreign countries. It is our responsibility to increase the same," he added.

Minister for science and technology, fisheries, Anand Asnotikar, said the regional science centre, being set up at Pilikula here, will be opened in June. In addition to two regional science centres in Dharwad and Mangalore, the department has plans to open 10 sub-regional science centres across the state, he said, adding that the government has already distributed Rs 1.3 crore each for the proposed sub-centres.

Scientist and chairman of Nutrition Society of India, V Prakash, was honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions in the field of food-processing technology on the occasion. Environment minister J Krishna Palemar and state principal secretary M N Vidyashankar were present.

Bengaluru, May 22: Amid the fourth phase of nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, inter-state travel from Karnataka is now permitted with the consent of the receiving state, informed Praveen Sood, Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) and Inspector General (IG).

"Inter-state pass is not required to go out of Karnataka as long as you have the consent of the receiving state," he said.

The order follows MHA's recent announcement of relaxed guidelines amid the nationwide lockdown.

"Due to lockdown, migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons are stranded at different places. They would be allowed to move as under," read the new guidelines while asking states to designate nodal authorities to facilitate the interstate movement.

The Centre has extended the lockdown till May 31 across the country.

The chief minister B S Yediyurappa led Karnataka state government had commissioned two inquires, one magisterial and the other CID, into the incident.
