Mangalore, Feb 1: The new office of the technical wing of UK-based Atlantic Data Bureau Private Limited located at Padil in Mangalore, was inaugurated on Friday.
Speaking after inaugurating the new facility, British Deputy High Commissioner Ian Felton said that the British Government was easing VISA conditions and services to Indians especially to students who wanted to study in UK universities. The British government was looking at areas such as education and business sectors for the mutual benefit of both countries. It was also looking at encouraging educational qualifications from UK universities in professional courses, humanities, basic science streams and also in-service people with UK-based companies, especially in the IT sector. There were no limits or cap on the number of students from India going to pursue education at British universities. As much as 95 percent of business issues will be alleviated with the loosening of VISA standards, he said.
President of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Mohammed Ameen said that the commerce bodies aimed at the development of an IT hub in Mangalore, as people were well-educated and intelligent. “Soon, KCCI will organise an IT conclave in Mangalore. We have to retain youngsters in Mangalore in order to prevent 'brain-drain' to other countries. Talks are on-going with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) on a programme to give leverage in technology in business mode,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Director of Aloysius Institute of Management and IT (AIMIT) Fr Denzil Lobo said that the educational facilities created in Mangalore by various organisations and institutions were of world-class standard. To further facilitate good education, we need an upgradaded syllabus and curriculum from time to time. Foreign collaboration in this regard would provide valuable assistance, he said.
Managing Director of UK Atlantic Data Services Mark Follett and director of Atlantic Data Bureau Services Mangalore Deepak Sharma were present on the occasion.

Ernakulam, May 25: Miscreants belonging to self-proclaimed Hindutva outfits have demolished a church set erected for the shoot of a Malayalam film at Kalady in Kerala’s Ernakulam district.

The set was erected to shoot the climax scene of the super hero film Minnal Murali, directed by Basil Joseph and starring Tovino Thomas and newcomer actor Femina.

The incident took place on Sunday. Members of the Antharashtra Hindu Parishad claimed that with the help of their sister outfit Antarashtra Bajrang Dal, they demolished the church set, erected on an island on the Periyar river in Kalady.

Hari Palode, the General Secretary of AHP, an organisation founded by Praveen Togadia, boasted on Facebook that they were not used to pleading to anyone, and decided to demolish the church set that was constructed near the Adi Sankaracharya mutt. 

“When they built such a structure in front of the Mahadeva shrine in Kalady, we said no. We had also submitted several complaints. We do not have the habit of pleading. We decided to demolish it. Our self respect must be protected at all cost,” AHP’s General Secretary Hari Palode wrote on his Facebook post along with pictures of members demolishing the set. 

The post also credited members of the Anrarashtra Bajrang Dal and its Ernakulam Division President Malayatoor Ratheesh for participating in the ‘service work’ of razing the church set. 

Mini Biju, member of Kalady Town panchayat confirmed that the film unit had indeed secured permission from the department before going ahead with the construction of the set.

“They had submitted a letter seeking permission to raise a temporary set. This was back in February before construction began. The panchayat committee had approved this request,” Mini said.

Davanagere, Jan 16: Congress leader D K Shivakumar on Thursday turned down all the recent media reports of him aspiring for the coveted Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committe (KPCC) president post.

Terming all the news, doing rounds, as baseless, Shivakumar said that he never made any attempt to become KPCC president. "All I want to do is work for my people and party", he asserted.

Referring to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's visit to Harihar's 'Our Lady of Health Minor Basilica' programme, Shivakumar said."I'm not concerned about what others are doing, everyone is free to take part in the programmes."
