Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy chairing the academic council meeting in Mangalore on Thursday.With this a candidate who has appeared for PG examination conducted by Mangalore University may apply through the Institution/Head of the Department for challenge valuation on payment of the prescribed fee, within 20 days after the publication of the result or 10 days from the date of dispatch of the marks cards by the Registrar (Evaluation) to the Institution/HoD, or within seven days from the date of communication of the result of re-totaling whichever is later.

 

Addressing the meeting, Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy said that if there is a difference between marks awarded initially and on Challenge Valuation, the final marks shall be the average of the two awards.

 

In case the difference between the initial award and the final award is more than 10 per cent and is to the advantage of the candidate, then 50 per cent of the fee paid for the challenge valuation shall be refunded to the candidate. Grace marks shall not be taken into consideration for eligibility for refund of the challenge evaluation fee.

 

“Challenge valuation is permitted for all theory papers only. Answer scripts will be evaluated by a suitable external examiner selected from the panel of examiners approved by the Vice-Chancellor. However, such examiners should not have been valuers for that paper during the examination. The answer scripts for Challenge Valuation can also be sent to examiners or other universities, said VC.

 

12th Five Year Plan

 

The UGC had asked the University to submit the 12th Five Year Plan proposal after getting it duly approved by all the statutory bodies of the University.

 

Since the actual allocation of resources for the 12th Five Year Plan is yet to be finalised by the Government of India, the Universities have been requested to develop two parallel scenarios priority-wise, one with a hike of three times and another with a hike of five times of the 11th Five Year Plan allocation to University under both development of merged schemes.

 

Accordingly a committee was formed under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor to draft the 12th plan proposals and a document titled “ Inclusive and Qualitative Expansion of Higher Education” is prepared.

 

The proposals are presented in two scenarios and are further classified under Capital Head, General Head and Salary Head.

 

Under scenario I the University has proposed Rs 40.5 crores as the required fund.

 

In scenario II Rs 65.80 crores has been proposed as the required fund.

 

Committee for PG course

 

As a college has requested the University to grant permission to start Post Graduate course in Bharathanatyam and Karnatak Music, a committee was formed to frame guidelines of the course and syllabus under the Presidentiship of Sarsa College of Fine Arts and Science Principal Dr Arati Shetty, said Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankara Murthy.

 

The regulations governing the choice based credit system (CBCS) for the two years (four semesters) Masters Degree Programmes in Bharathanatyam and Karnatak Music was presented before the academic council.

New Delhi, Feb 1: An extremist today fired shots at anti-CAA protesters at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi, just three days after another extremist fired at protesters at nearby Jamia Millia University. This is the second daylight shooting in which the police caught the man only after the shots were fired.

The man, apparently a fan of BJP leaders including Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, shouted "Jai Sri Ram" as he fired shots standing near police barricades put up at the south Delhi locality where hundreds of women and children have sat on the road in protest for more than a month. He was caught by the police. No one was injured. 

The shooter was also heard saying: "Humare desh mein sirf Hinduon ki chalegi aur kisi ki nahi (in our country only Hindus will prevail)." He had allegedly come to the area in an auto.

A witness said the man fired two-three times, standing right next to the police, not at the spot of the protest but close enough to a large crowd of unarmed men, women and children. 

"We suddenly heard gunshots. This person was shouting Jai Shri Ram. He had a semi-automatic pistol and he fired two rounds. The police were standing just behind him," said the witness, a volunteer at the protest.

"When his gun jammed, he ran. He tried to fire again, then tossed the gun into the bushes and tried to escape. Some of us and the police caught him, the police dragged him away," he added. Protesters questioned whether the police were more focused on keeping an eye on them rather than tackling crimes like this.

Police officer Chinmay Biswal said the man had fired shots in the air. "The man had resorted to aerial firing. Police immediately overpowered and caught him," he said.

This incident - the second shooting in Delhi at an anti-CAA protest -- has chilling similarities to the one that took place just two km away at Jamia university on Thursday, when a 17-year-old Class 12 boy from Uttar Pradesh fired a crude pistol at unarmed protesters with dozens of policemen behind him, watching. The teen, who left home claiming he was going to school, took a bus to Delhi intending to target Shaheen Bagh but landed at Jamia next-door after an auto-driver dropped him off there to avoid the traffic chaos.

The shootings have taken place in quick succession after controversial slogans of "Goli Maaro Sa***n Ko (shoot the traitors)" were chanted on Monday at a Delhi campaign rally of Anurag Thakur, the Union Minister of State for Finance, who was part of the team involved in Budget 2020 announced today.

Mr Thakur was banned from campaigning in Delhi for three days for egging on BJP workers to shout the "Goli Maaro" slogan.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed Home Minister Amit Shah, to whose ministry the Delhi Police reports to, over the two shooting incidents. "What have you done to our Delhi, Amit Shah ji? Bullets are being fired in broad daylight... Law and order is being criticised constantly. Elections will come and go, politics will keep happening, but for the sake of the people of Delhi, please focus on fixing law and order," he tweeted.

The Shaheen Bagh protest has attracted attention from across the country in the protests against the CAA or the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which makes religion a criterion for citizenship. Critics say the law discriminates against Muslims as only non-Muslims from neighbouring Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh can become Indian citizens if they fled religious persecution and entered India before 2015.

Of late, critics of the Shaheen Bagh protests, mainly pro-CAA activists, have attacked the month-long sit-in on a key road in Delhi connecting to Noida. They say the protest has become a traffic nightmare for commuters.
