Mangaluru, Jun 30: The Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences will open its regional centre at Kavoor in Mangaluru, according to RGUHS Vice-Chancellor S. Sacchidanand.

Addressing a press conference in the city on Saturday, the VC said it will be one of the four regional centres of the university coming up in the State. The RGUHS planned to have its regional centres in Mangaluru, Davangere, Kalaburagi, and Belagavi.

“The Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner has agreed to allocate land in Kavoor,” he said. This regional institute will also have a sports complex that will boost the sports activities of 70 affiliated institutes in the region.

The Regional Centre in Davangere will have a new academic building that will boost academic activities. The Regional Centre in Belagavi will have a cultural centre that will be used to hold the university’s cultural programmes, the Vice-Chancellor said.

RGUHS Registrar (Evaluation) K.B. Lingegowda said the university hopes to start the regional centre in Mangaluru by next year. The Vice-Chancellor said that RGUHS was encouraging research and earmarked ₹20 crore for 2018-19. One of the research was on dengue, which has a high mortality rate. “The research is on early detection of persons likely to have Dengue Shock Syndrome.”

The research was being conducted for the two years by the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, the Kempegowda Instiute of Medical Sciences, St. Johns Medical College, and M.S. Ramaiah Medical College in association with the Indian Institute of Science, he said.

The university has been encouraging research at the undergraduate level by giving offering financial support of ₹15,000 for each research. “These are small research works which we encourage students to take up.” Of the 471 applications, RGUHS accepted 271 research proposals and has provided financial assistance, Dr. Sacchidanand said.

The university will start the Department of Placement and Career Development this year to help nursing, pharmacy and other healthcare course students get jobs. “There is lot of demand for healthcare professionals abroad. We do not want our students to be taken for a ride by middlemen.” Apart from direct contact with employers, the department will hold sessions to develop skills necessary.

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 30: With suicide cases being reported from various parts of the state after liquor sales were stopped in Kerala following the lockdown, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has directed the Excise Department to provide liquor to those with a prescription from a doctor.

The move comes after many reportedly showed acute withdrawal symptoms and suicide cases were reported in the state.

On Saturday, in Kodungaloor in Thrissur district, a youth committed suicide by jumping into the river after suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

In another incident, a 38-year-old man working in a barbershop in Kayamkulam consumed shaving lotion after he didn't get alcohol. Though he was taken to hospital after he developed uneasiness, he died.

The Kerala government has also asked the Excise Department to provide free treatment and admit people with withdrawal symptoms to the de-addiction centres.

The Chief Minister has said the government is also considering the option of online sale of liquor as the sudden unavailability of alcohol may lead to social problems.
