Addressing a press meet in Bengaluru on Wednesday,?Social?Welfare Minister H?Anjaneya said that the “Devaraj Urs Pratibha Puraskara” with cash awards ranging between Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000 will be provided to 2,500 students of OBC communities who have secured 90 per cent marks.

The income of the students’ families should not exceed Rs one lakh per annum. “A sum of Rs 10,000 will be paid to 1,000 SSLC?students, Rs 15,000 to 500 II?PU students, Rs 20,000 to 500 degree students and Rs 25,000 to 500 students studying in professional institutions,” the minister said.

The department will provide assistance to the tune of Rs 10 lakh per annum for 100 students who wish to study aboard.

Candidates whose family income is below Rs six lakh per annum and who score a minimum of 60 per cent in their degree or postgraduate examination can apply for the “Devaraj Urs Study Abroad scheme”.

Under another scheme named after Urs, research scholars pursuing PhDs will be given a monthly stipend of Rs 5,000 per month for three years.

Details of the schemes are available on the website www.backwardclasses.kar.nic.in. Students can apply online by logging on to their website. Post-martic students of Other Backward Classes looking for government hostel facilities can also apply online from the same portal.

Hostel facilities

Last year, as many as 90,765 students were provided free hostel facilities in 869 hostels belonging to the Social Welfare Department.

The minister said an expert committee will be constituted soon to bring out a book on the life and times of Urs. A series of functions will be organised across the state on August 20, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Urs.

Kalaburagi, Mar 14: Utter negligence of Kalaburagi health department officials was one of the main reasons for the death of his father, alleged family member of Kalaburagi man and India's first COVID-19 victim here on Friday.

The victim's son said 'if officials of Kalaburagi health department had advised us to admit his father in isolated ward, which was opened in Gulbarga Institute of Medical science (GIMS), my father's survival time may have been extended,' he said.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court, seeking a stay on Anand Singh functioning as Minister of Forests, Environment and Ecology contending that there are criminal cases filed against him by the Ministry.

"A stay be granted prohibiting Anand Singh from functioning as the Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology. Any other order that the Honourable Court may deem fit in the interest of justice and equity," the PIL prays.

The petition, filed by advocate Vijay Kumar, said that the Chief Minister has allocated the portfolio of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology to Singh without considering the fact that there are several criminal faces filed against him by the Ministry.

It said that the allocation of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology portfolio to Singh is in the conflict of interest.

"The holding of the post of Cabinet minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology is against public interest and completely in conflict of interest as he has business for which the subject Ministry is the overseeing authority and further he will also have access to the case files which again is in conflict of interest," the PIL said.

PIL adds that "it is pertinent and absolutely necessary" to deny the incumbent from accessing files related to his cases and from taking any decisions which may provide him with pecuniary benefits through his businesses.
