Udupi, Jan 3: P B Acharya, Governor of Nagaland, has hailed Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Paryaya Pejawar Mutt and Dharmasthala Dharmadhakari D Veerendra Heggade as the icons of the country.

He was speaking as the chief guest at a function to felicitate Heggade on his completing 50 years as Dharmadhakari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala at Rajangana here. The Rashtra Ratna Prashasti was conferred on Dr Heggade.

The governor also urged the two religious leaders to start their projects in the North-East,” Mr. Acharya said. “Strengthening the eight States of North-East India was the need of the hour. People from the mainland should make an effort to visit these eight States and establish their projects there,” he added.

“The North-East was abundant in natural resources. There were nearly 300 insurgent groups operating in the North-East. These States also had international borders. They either bordered China, Mynamar or Bangladesh. The insurgents did not feel that they were part of the country. Hence, it was up to the people of the mainland to reach out to them,” he said.

In his felicitation speech, the Pejawar seer said that there was no field of welfare which Dr Heggade had not touched. He had made his contribution to several fields, including healthcare, education, Ayurveda, Yoga, and also promoting self-employment. “I hope he will get the Bharat Ratna,” he said.

In his speech, Dr. Heggade said that it was the activities of the Pejawar seer which had inspired him to take up welfare schemes.

Bengaluru, Apr 8: Karnataka government has decided to postpone its first mass marriage ('Saptapadi') scheduled for April 26 due to lockdown in force, Minister for Muzrai, Port and Fisheries Kota Srinivas Poojary said here on Tuesday.

Talking to media here, he said that the first phase is likely to be clubbed with the second phase to be held on May 24. However, it all depends upon the situation prevailing at that time.

The state government had proposed to conduct the mass marriage scheme at select Muzrai temples in two phases on April 26 and May 24. Around 2000 applications with due documents were received for mass marriage from those who wished to tie the nuptial knot.

Bengaluru, July 17: The government of Karnataka has decided to issue caste and income certificates to Brahmins in the state to reduce the socio-economic inequality faced by the community.

“A notification has been issued to tehsildars in all 30 districts to issue caste and income certificates to Brahmins so that they can also benefit from the government schemes and scholarships,” a Revenue Department official told said.

The notification comes a month after the Karnataka State Brahmin Development Board on June 10 appealed to Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to issue the certificates to the traditionally dominant community, which accounts for 3 per cent of the 7 crore state population.

“Though Brahmins are in ‘minority’ in terms of their population across the state, they need caste and income certificates to benefit from the welfare schemes meant for the economic weaker sections such as SC, ST and OBC groups,” the official said.

The board was set up in March 2019 as a state-run company with Rs 5 crore authorised capital and Rs 5 crore equity and is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

The notification was issued to the local bodies and taluk offices after several members of the community complained to state Revenue Minister R. Ashoka that they were unable to benefit from the welfare schemes in the absence of the certificates.

The certificates will also help students from the community to avail scholarships for higher studies from the state-funded board if their gross annual family income is less than Rs 8 lakh per year.

The board has also urged the state government to implement the 10 per cent quota for its community members under the economically weaker sections, as applicable for Central government jobs and admissions to central institutions.

Noting that every community has people who are forward and backward economically for various reasons, including historical, the official said the board would be empowered to serve the Brahmins.

“The board will provide interest-free loans to the financially weaker sections of the community,” said its Chairman H.S. Sachidananda Murthy.
