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, Mar 2: Karnataka Minister BC Patil on Monday repeated his earlier statements that he will approach the Centre to bring a law to "shoot at sight" anyone who raises anti-India slogans.

"I am not going back on my statement as I have not said anything wrong. I had said that I will ask the central government to bring a law to shoot at sight those who shout slogans against India. Nowadays it has become a fashion for some youths to get popularity this way which spoils the country and patriotism," Patil told reporters here.

"There is nothing wrong in asking for a law. I have not said that I will myself shoot someone who shouts slogans against India. If the same thing happens in Pakistan, they will be beheaded. But we are not so brutal, we book a case and send them to judicial custody," he added.

Patil also said that there was no need for holding discussions over the amended Citizenship Act, but added that the ruling BJP will defend it if the opposition raises a stir in the state Assembly.

The budget session of the Karnataka Assembly began on Monday.
