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, Jun 16: Continuing easing of restrictions under 'unlock-1,' the Karnataka government has allowed shooting and production of films and television programmes in the state.

In a clarification, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad said, shooting and production of all films and television programmes that were stopped in between due to lockdown can be allowed.

It is also allowed to continue with the post-production activities of film and television programmes after completing the shooting, it said.

The permission is conditional as it is subjected to adhering of the national directives issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and standard operating procedures prescribed by the Department of Information and Public Relations.

The clarification said permission can be given as film and television shooting and production activities are not banned under guidelines issued by the centre and the state government recently.
