Govt planning to distribute laptops for high school teachers: Kageri

August 27, 2011

Mangalore, August 27: The State Government is planning to distribute laptops for high school teachers to ensure effective education in schools said Vishweshwara Hegde Kaageri, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education.

He was speaking at the educational conference of high school headmasters and felicitation ceremony for the top scorers in SSLC exams.

Advising the teachers about the responsibilities they have in effective nation building, Mr Kageri said that they should encourage students to be more creative and strive for the overall development of the child.

“Talents of our nation should contribute to the development of all facets in society, rather than increasingly accumulating in the field of engineering and medicine”, he said.

He also expressed concern over the drastic fall in SSLC results of the district. Noting that only 53 of the 423 high schools in the district have achieved 100%, he insisted that teachers should strive to increase the results in all schools.

D H Shankara Murthy, Chairperson, Legislative Council, in his inaugural address lamented that though there has been considerable debate about education, no solid steps to increase the quality of education has been initiated.

“We have shown considerable economic growth. We need to convert this growth into social development by increasing the standards of education”, he said. Sticking to the principles of Vedas and Bahgavadgita was a sure way to achieve it, he opined.

Mr Murthy found it necessary to have a debate on what we should and shouldn't teach children.

Swami Jitakaamanandji Maharaj, President, Ramakrishna Mutt, Sri Nirbhayananda Saraswathi Swamiji, Sri Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashrama, N Yogish Bhat, Deputy Speaker, Legislative Assembly, U T Khader, MLA, Mangalore, Capt. Ganesh Karnik, MLC and Shailaja Bhat, President, Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat were present.

Prizes were distributed to the highest scoring students of SSLC exams from all taluks. Awards were also given to 53 high schools, which scored 100% in SSLC exams.

New Delhi, Jul 29: Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad Rather has become a buzz name in Kashmir overnight. Hilal saw off the first batch of Rafale jets which took off from France to India on Monday. Among other things, he has also been associated with the weaponisation of the Rafale aircraft for acclimatisation to Indian requirements.

Hilal is presently India's Air Attache in France.

The career details of this officer of the Indian Air Force (IAF) read like the decoration scroll of the best flying officer anywhere in the world.

Born in the south Kashmir's Anantnag district to middle-class parents, Hilal's father, late Mohammad Abdullah Rather retired as a deputy superintendent of police (Dy SP) in J&K police department. He has three sisters and is the only son of his parents. Hilal studied in Sainik School in Nagrota town of Jammu district.

He was commissioned in IAF as a fighter pilot on December 17, 1988, became flight lieutenant in 1993, wing commander in 2004, group captain in 2016 and air commodore in 2019.

He graduated from defence services staff college (DSSC). He also graduated from air war college (USA) with distinction. He won the sword of honour in NDA. Hilal is also the recipient of Vayu Sena Medal and Vishisht Seva medal.

With an impeccable record of 3,000 accident-free flying hours on mirage-2000, MIG-21 and Kiran aircraft, Hilal's name will now forever be associated with Rafale in India.

Kottayam, Mar 31: A 91-year-old and 88-year-old senior citizen couple were discharged from the isolation ward of government medical college after getting treated from COVID-19 on Monday.

"It is a testimony to the dedication and expertise of the medical staff as well as the strength of the Kerala public health system. We shall overcome," Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac tweeted as he praised the healthcare services for treating the elderly couple considered as highly vulnerable to the contagious virus.

Apart from the two senior citizens, five others suffering from COVID-19 have also been treated and discharged from the hospital.
Thomas, 91, and his wife Mariyamma, 88, who were under treatment at the Kottayam Medical College were already suffering from various age-related problems. The 91-year-old had a heart attack and severe breathing trouble when he was under treatment.

"The aged couple based in Ranni in Pathanamthitta district had got infected with the virus after coming into contact with their son, wife and grandson who had arrived from Italy. COVID-19 was confirmed in them on March 8. They were admitted to Pathanamthitta hospital. However, they were shifted to the Medical College in Kottayam the very next day as their condition was critical," the Kerala government said.

The family will have to remain in home-quarantine for 14 more days.

The Union Health Ministry said the death toll due to COVID-19 has risen to 32 and the number of total coronavirus cases to 1,251 as on Monday. 

There are 1117 active cases in the country with the state of Kerala contributing the highest number of cases which stands at 202.
