Mysuru, Jul 16: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced that his government has set a target of making about five lakh youths from the State employable this year by giving them essential vocational skills under the Kaushalya Karnataka scheme.sid

“We want to make them job-ready,” he said, adding that 1.8 lakh jobs will be created in the State for the youth by end of 2020. Around 1.6 lakh youths had been made employable by imparting them skills under the scheme, he said.

Speaking after inaugurating ‘Kaushalya Mela’ (vocational skills mela) to mark World Youth Skills Day here, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the State government cannot give jobs to all since the number of postings in various departments was around 6.5 lakh.

However, there was abundant scope for jobs in the private sector, and the government had launched the department for vocational skills to train youth suiting their qualification or career choices.

In Mysuru district, 34,800 youths had enrolled under the Kaushalya scheme though the target set for Mysuru was 25,000, he said.

On the occasion, he distributed tool kits to students from the Industrial Training Institute (ITI). The government plans to provide such kits to all ITI students across the State. The Chief Minister also inaugurated a job mela.

Bengaluru, Feb 4: The CBI has booked Karnataka cadre senior IPS officers Hemant Nimbalkar and Ajay Hilori along with eight others in connection with Rs 4,000-crore I-Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam in which gullible investors were allegedly cheated in the name of Islamic banking, officials said on Tuesday.

The move came after the CBI received an approval from the Karnataka government to proceed with investigation into alleged role of 1998-batch IPS officer Nimbalkar and 2008-batch IPS officer Hilori, they said.

Along with the two officers, the agency has also named the company IMA, its founder Mansoor Khan and others in the case.

The CBI had approached the state government seeking permission to proceed against the two officers who are in senior positions in the Karnataka Police and allegedly helped IMA founder Masoor Khan, they said.

Bidar, Feb 15: Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Siddaramaiah on Friday demanded the State government to withdraw the sedition case against a mother and a teacher of Shaheen school immediately.

“The police can’t execute anything without the government’s permission. The sedition case against two women should be withdrawn immediately. I will raise the matter in the Assembly to draw the government’s attention,” Siddaramaiah told reporters after meeting the woman at the prison here. 

He clarified that he visited the woman not to support the school, but to extend moral support to her.

“I am an advocate and I can clearly establish based on my experience that staging a satirical play doesn’t amount for sedition. It doesn’t even defame anybody. Three cases of sedition have been registered across the state,” he charged.

He alleged that the government was following dual policy. Though the Supreme Court had concluded that the demolition of Babri Masjid was illegal, a play dealing with the demolition was staged at Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat’s school.
The sedition case had not been registered for staging the play.

He charged that there was an undeclared emergency in the country as the freedom of expression was being suppressed.
