Mandya, Jun 13: Degree colleges will begin classes after the lockdown is lifted and dates for examinations will be announced later, said deputy chief minister CR Ashwath Narayan on Friday.
Speaking at College of Agriculture, Mandya (VC Farm) on Friday, Ashwath Narayan said the lockdown will be completely phased out on June 30 and degree colleges will begin classes after that. “We will speak with all stakeholders to chalk out measures as to how to reopen degree colleges amidst coronavirus scare. All students must continue their studies and be prepared for exams,” he said.
Narayan said the cabinet has approved to upgrade VC Farm as a university and an ordinance will soon be promulgated in this regard. “There is a need to change the present curriculum to meet present day requirements. VC Farm will be made into a world class agriculture university and a vice chancellor will be appointed,” he said.
“Apart from traditional education, we must concentrate on skill-based education as it should create more job opportunities. We are committed to establish more skill-based educational institutes in Mandya district,” Narayan said.
Later Narayan visited Shivaragudda near Maddur and inspected 48 acres of government land which could be used for establishing skill-based education institutions. “This land was earlier used for imparting skill-based education in a collaboration with Denmark. Sir M Visvesvaraya had established skill-based institutions here in 1923 and now they have become defunct. The then prime minister of Denmark had inaugurated this century old institution. We will revive it and this will help local youths,” he said.
‘Ticket promised only to R Shankar’
When asked, Narayan said R Shankar, who quit the Congress-JD(S) coalition and joined BJP will be given a party ticket to contest the legislative council election. “Except Shankar, the high command did not promise council tickets to those who quit congress and JD(S) and joined our party. It is true that there is hectic lobbying in BJP to get tickets,” he said.

whatever going on in the Dargah is against the teaching of islam and definately Allah hates this. Its unfortunate that people of fighting for power and unnecesary things. They are giving importance to not required customs which are not advised in islam. Few people are running dargah as business to make money. Its unfortunate that common people are getting fooled.
It is responsibility of waqf board and local MLA to bring peace in Ullal before some one get killed.
Let all elected representative sit together elect one as president who has majority.
It is easy job but some unseen hands playing behind the scene.
I request UTK to show the leadership before some one get killed.Just he need to do is tell both fraction that those who get majority will be president.
health minister's city became unhealthy goon's city
whats going on, fighting with own people this must be stopped immediately, it makes our rival to go out strong.
There is no difference between dargah and temple. Both make pooja by offering flower etc. Both make jathre(Uroos). Both make nerche (Harake). In islam no where taught like this. This fight is only for money.
koora and SSF's Dirty Game
fighting for dargha's authority, it defines u,
