Exporters' conclave in city on Feb 13

February 3, 2012

Mangalore, February 3: A conclave of all exporters of Karnataka will be organized by the Federation of Indian Exports Organisations (FIEO) in Mangalore on February 13, said its Regional Chairman Walter D'Souza.

Addressing a press meet at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), here on Thursday, he said the Union Ministry for Corporate Affairs will collaborate with it for the meet, which would have a plenary session and a technical session.

Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda and Union Ministers for Corporate Affairs, Surface Transport, Commerce and Industry and the Karnataka Minister for Industry were expected to attend the event.

The FIEO will present “Karnataka Export Vision-2020”, a document on how Karnataka can increase its share in India's total exports from 6 per cent to 10 per cent. The organisation has a membership of over 15,000 exporters from India.

The technical sessions would be addressed by the Director-General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Secretary of Ministry of Surface Transport and Corporate Affairs, along with the Principal Secretary of Industry, Government of Karnataka. The meet will be held in association with Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), Udupi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UCCI), North Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NKCCI), Karwar, and all other trade bodies of Karnataka, a press release said.

If India were to reach its export target of $ 500 billion in the financial year 2013-14 and if India's share of global exports had to double by 2020, then each State had to set a target so that the national target could be achieved, said Mr. D'Souza.

Karnataka govt mulls ban on cow slaughter, beef consumption

News Network

July 11,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 11: The Bharatiya Janata Party led government of Karnataka is planning to ban cow slaughter as well as the sale and consumption of beef in the state by bringing Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation Bill, 2012.

"Many states have passed the Anti-Cow Slaughter Bill. We are preparing to implement it in Karnataka as well. The state government will soon implement a ban on cow slaughter, sale and consumption of beef on the lines of many other states," said Prabhu Chauhan, the state's Animal Husbandry Minister.

The Anti-Cow Slaughter Act is already in place in several states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh among others.

Last month, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government passed a draft ordinance to prevent cow slaughter, providing maximum rigorous imprisonment of 10 years and a fine up to Rs 5 lakh.
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Cow Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 aims at making the existing Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1955 more effective towards cow safety.

In Karnataka, the BJP-led government had promised to ban cow slaughter in its manifesto for 2018 state assembly election.

"The government will form a team of experts to look into once the current pandemic situation eases," Chauhan stated, adding that if necessary, the team of experts will visit states like Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat.

The then BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government had passed the Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Protection Bill in 2010 but it failed to get presidential approval. Three years later, the Bill was withdrawn by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government.

"I will discuss this matter with Chief Minister and if this pandemic situation eases, by next session, if not by upcoming assembly session, we will try to bring Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill," Chauhan added.
