Society should save the lives of innocent Akshatas by not producing Kartiks: GIO

Mangaluru, Feb 22: Expressing shock over the coldblooded murder of a 19-year-old BSc student by her 24-year-old classmate at Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district, Girls Islamic Organization (GIO) has exhorted the people to ponder over the ways to avert recurrence of such crimes of passion in future.

Akshata K, a student of Nehru Memorial College, Sullia was stabbed seven times on the road while returning from the college on Tuesday evening by her classmate Kartik for not accepting him as her boyfriend. She breathed her last while being taken to Mangaluru for treatment. Police have managed to arrest Kartik.

In a release issued here, Shahnaz Zainab, Dakshina Kannada district unit president of GIO, said the society should not consider the case just as a sporadic incident of crime of passion by a jilted lover. 

“We should think about the role of society in creating such a jilted lover who ruthlessly murdered a teenage girl just for turning down his proposal. The murder of Akshata should lead to a debate on the current social system that produced many such Kartiks,” she said. 

Pointing out the deteriorating moral values in the society, free intermingling between men and women, and mass media’s practice of treating woman as commodity, she said that mere punishing a pervert like Kartik will not solve the issue.

“Unless the society is morally uplifted and steps are taken to prevent the youth from turning into Kartiks, the lives of innocent girls like Akshata will not be safe,” she said.

Media portraying school time love is like must have, essential thing in students' life. If they are not getting girl for being lover (infatuation), they may go for any extreme and boys will think its normal. So should stop this kind of mentality in films and tv shows. Then it will get corrected automatically

Bengaluru, June 10: The Department of Primary and Secondary Education of Government of Karnataka today ordered a ban on online classes for children from KG to class 5.

The decision was taken following a report based on the report submitted by director NIMHANS, recommending online classes only above the age of 6 years and also following the complaints from several parents about online classes conducted by private schools even for kindergarten kids.

Briefing the media soon after the meeting with department officials, S Suresh Kumar, primary and secondary education minister said, "We have taken two major decisions today. The online classes for LKG, UKG and primary classes should be stopped immediately."

Even collecting fees in the name of online classes should be stopped, said the minister. "We have already issued a circular about it insisting that schools not collect fees in the name of online classes and also requesting schools not to increase fees for the 2020-21 academic year considering financial constraints of several people due to the COVID-19 pandemic," said the minister.

The department, however, also discussed how to engage children during this period as there was no clarity over the reopening of schools for the 2020-21 academic year. "We have constituted a committee to prepare guidelines on how to engage students and increase their knowledge. The committee is headed by Prof. MK Sridhar," he said.

Before taking this decision, the department had three rounds of discussions with various experts, including Prof. MK Sridhar, Prof. VP Niranjanaradhya, Dr John Vijay Sagar and other departments, including the home and health departments.
