ZP to open helpline for students during examination

March 12, 2012

Mangalore, March 13: President of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat K. T. Shailaja Bhat on Monday instructed officials here to open helpline for students if they were caught in traffic jam on the way of attending pre-university examinations from March 15 to 31 and SSLC examinations in April.

At the Karnataka Development Programme Review Committee meeting, Ms. Bhat said she realised how students were tense when her daughter was caught in a traffic jam while on the way to attend an examination recently.

Such an incident might land many students in trouble. Hence if there was helpline for every examination centre, students could inform the centre about traffic jams and officials could help students.

Ms. Bhat did not make it clear how officials should help students caught in traffic jams. She did not elaborate on the steps to be taken in case if a student informed the helpline about having caught in a traffic jam.

Deputy Director of Public Instruction Moses Jayashekar told the president that he felt that there was no need for helpline for students attending SSLC examinations. It was because for every 3 km. distance there would a SSLC examination centre.

However, an official from the Department of Pre-University said that helpline would be opened for pre-university students. Ms. Bhat ended the discussion abruptly without clarity.

The Chief Executive Officer of the panchayat, K.N. Vijay Prakash, said the panchayat had taken steps to ensure that Dakshina Kannada did not lag behind in SSLC examination results this year. Dakshina Kannada was topper in SSLC examination results till a few years ago. Other districts had scored over Dakshina Kannada in the past few years.

Mr. Prakash said that officials of the Department of Public Instruction had conducted special classes for students of government schools in Science, Mathematics and English.

Kalaburagi, Mar 5: Kalaburagi Police has issued a second notice to AIMIM leader Waris Pathan, for his controversial remark, directing him to appear before the Investigation Officer on March 8 and give his statement.

Earlier, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner MM Nagaraj said that the police had served notice to Pathan and asked him to appear on February 29 before Investigation Officer.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally at Kalaburagi, Pathan had said, "time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores."

However, Pathan later took back his words and had said he had not targeted any community but had spoken against members of some organisations.

"If any of my words have hurt someone, I take them back as I am a true Indian," he had said.

Bengaluru, Feb 28: BS Yediyurappa’s contribution to the economy is substantial, and he is one CM who has contributed largely to making India the fifth largest economy, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

“He will ensure that Karnataka contributes towards making India the third-largest economy in the coming days,” Singh said, who had flown from New Delhi to participate in the CM’s birthday celebrations.

Singh recalled Yediyurappa asking him how to increase welfare measures for farmers, and had suggested that the CM reduce interest rates on loans to help the community. “Yediyurappa took the suggestion seriously and reduced interest of loans to a mere 4 % and gradually reduced it to 1 % before coming down to zero,” Singh said, appreciating Yediyurappa’s love for farmers.
