Udupi, Apr 5: Pramod Madhwaraj, Minister for Fisheries, Youth Empowerment and Sports, has sought additional security cover for himself from the Home Department because of the forthcoming Assembly elections.

Speaking to media persons on Wednesday, Mr. Madhwaraj, who is also the Udupi district in-charge minister, said that he had written to the State Home Department seeking security in the view of the Assembly polls.

He did not want to take any chances and wanted to protect himself from what he said “any mishaps”. He had not given any reasons for seeking additional security and had sought it purely as a precautionary measure. He had written such a letter for the first time, he said.

He said that he did not know what steps had been taken by the Home Department in response to his letter. He had so far not received any response from the department. It was up to the government to decide what form of security it wanted to provide him, Mr. Madhwaraj said.

New Delhi, Jul 9: The Central Board of Secondary Education has strongly defended its decision to drop topics like democratic rights, citizenship, federalism, secularism etc in the name of reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The board has claimed that the dropped lessons "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

The CBSE said it had to come up with the clarification after realizing its decision was "interpreted differently".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

While it has said that no questions can be asked from the reduced syllabus in the next board exams, the CBSE has also directed schools to follow alternative calendars prepared by the NCERT.

"Therefore each of the topics that have been wrongly mentioned in media as deleted have been covered under Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT which is already in force for all the affiliated schools of the Board," it clarified.

On Wednesday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee tweeted: "Shocked to know that the central Government has dropped topics like citizenship, federalism, secularism and partisan in the name of reducing CBSE course during the COVID crisis."

"We strongly object to this and appeal the HRD Ministry to ensure these vital lessons aren't curtailed at any cost," Banerjee added.
