Udupi, Sept 28: Students from various educational institutions participated in the two-day ISRO Space Exhibition at NMAM Institute of Technology (NMAMIT) at Nitte in the district on Wednesday and Thursday.

A press release issued by NMAMIT here said that the exhibition is aimed at displaying the journey of ISRO. The exhibits include 10 satellite models made of brass. Video displays and also colour panels showing the journey of ISRO in space were the main attraction.

Another major draw was the demonstration of launch of a water rocket which was done by Guruprasad, Public Relations Executive, ISRO, Bengaluru.

It was a water rocket built using a bottle which was aerodynamically stable and its centre of gravity was concentrated at the extreme front. Earlier, speaking at the inaugural function, Mr. Guruprasad said that Indians must be proud of the achievements in the field of space science.

“We are the only country to accomplish Mission Mars in the first attempt. Perseverance is essential to achieve success,” he said.

In his presidential address, Niranjan Chiplunkar, Principal of NMAMIT, expressed his concern over lesser number of students opting for space research as their career. High school students should be given proper guidance about the opportunities in the field of space research, he said.

Ashok Adyanthaya inaugurated the space exhibition. Rekha Bhandarkar, convener of the programme, welcomed the gathering. Ananth A.G., Organising Secretary, proposed the vote of thanks.

Ballari, Apr 18: Hosapete town in Ballari district of Karnataka gasped in disbelief as it turned out that 11 members of one single family are positive for the coronavirus.

The whole town has been declared a containment zone and is being surveilled 24X7.

The family includes seven members whose tests returned positive today, three who tested Covid-19 positive on March 30 and one other member subsequently.

The seven who tested positive today had been negative when they were earlier tested along with the others.

They have all now been shifted to isolation wards at the District Hospital in Ballari.

Including this family of 11, Ballari has 13 positive cases so far, with one case each reported from Ballari and Siraguppa towns.

Startled by this sudden upsurge from Hosapete, the district administration has set up 16 fever clinics to screen people and six COVID care centres to treat positive cases. There are two dedicated COVID hospitals, one at Ballari and another at Torangallu in Sandur.

A team of psychological counsellors have been put on duty to provide support to the patients at the isolation centres.
