Mangalore, January 6: 'Gomandala- Gopooja', a three day special programme to worship cow as god, organised by the Govanithashraya Trust, Mangalore, at Nehru Maidan in the city was inaugurated on Friday evening.

Speaking on the occasion, Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel said, after the independence we have seen the way our country depends on the cow.

He said even before Independence India had to struggle to protect the sacred animal. A program of this kind is very auspicious and it must be made known to the Central government that an initiative of this kind has been taken at national level, he suggested.

Recalling the Hindu traditions, he said in the earlier days when a boy went to look for a prospective bride he would see the number of cows her house had bred.

He also demanded that the controversial anti-cow – slaughter law must be come into force, since cows give us milk without any law.

Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Vajradehi mutt, most of the times cows are being ill-treated when they are being transported by vans from one place to another.

Citing examples from the Gita he preached the public about the status of the cow in our Hindu religion. He went on to compare the cow to mother and appealed all to worship it regularly.

Delivering the presidential address, B Nagaraj Shetty, Chairman, Coastal Development Authority, called upon the Hindus to do everything possible to protect the sacred animal.

Informing about the objectives of the event, Ananth Krishna, President of the Trust, said, the relationship of Hindus with cows is very strong and ancient.

He said that it was our duty to make people aware of the need for protecting cows, which are being slaughtered everywhere.

He said that the school children must be educated about the way the cows are bred and the way it is taken care off.

The evening got off to a Vedic start by chanting of mantras. Cow worshippers began to bringing their pet animal-cum-god to the venue, where religious discourses about cows and chanting of shlokas will go one for next three days. Go-pooja, Bhajans, Vishnusahasranama, Little Krishna show and cultural programmes by blind children also will be part of the event.

DKMUL President Raviraj Hegde and VHP leader Prof MB Puranik were also present among others.

The deceased has been identified as Gopalkrishna Madivala.

Bengaluru, Mar 30: The nationwide lockdown has left the state on the brink of a fresh agrarian crisis.

The lack of transport facilities spells doom for ready-to-harvest grapes worth Rs 500-600 crore in Bengaluru Rural, Chikkaballapur and Kolar districts. Unable to find buyers, several farmers have begun dumping their produce into compost pits.

On Sunday, Munishamappa, a farmer in Chikkaballapur, emptied four truckloads of grapes into the pit as buyers didn’t turn up due to the lockdown. “If the grapes wither and fall to the ground, it will affect the soil’s fertility and I will be forced to dispose of them,” he said.

Venkata Krishnappa, Munishamappa’s son, said their 1.5-acre vineyard yielded 25 tonnes of grapes. “Just before the lockdown, 10 tonnes were harvested and delivered to the market. Due to lack of transport, buyers haven’t turned up for the remaining 15 tonnes which we are dumping into the pit.”

Anjaneya Reddy, a farmer leader, said that in Chikkaballapur alone, they have cultivated grapes on 2,000 acres. “Even if you consider 15 tonnes per acre as yield, there are about 30,000 tonnes ready to be harvested in the district. At a market rate of Rs 50 to Rs 60 per kilogram, the net worth will be Rs 200 crore to Rs 300 crore. And if you consider the crop in Kolar and Bengaluru Rural, grapes worth Rs 500 to Rs 600 crore are at stake,” he explained.

The ‘Dilkush’ grapes is the most preferred variety of domestic consumption, according to the farmers.

This apart, farmers would have invested about Rs 3 lakh to 4 lakh per acre on fertilisers, pesticide and labour. “With markets being shut and no of the transport facilities available, farmers are forced to dump their produce into pits. It is high time the government intervened and provided us with market options so that farmers can sell at an affordable price of Rs 30 to 40,” Reddy said.

Somu, a farmer in Ganjam village of Srirangapattana, dumped two tonnes of chikku (sapota) citing market shutdown in Mandya. Reddy appealed to the government to emulate the Maharashtra model where the government is helping farmers market fruits through Hopcoms or dairy units as nutrient supplements to people.

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned the decision of the HRD Ministry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism from Class 11 political science syllabus, stating that this will "deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy".

"I strongly condemn the decision of @HRDMinistry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism. This will deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy. #Stop Saffronisation Of Education," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

The Congress leader further alleged that BJP does not believe in the principles of citizenship, secularism and federalism.

"Chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism are dropped from Class 11 Pol Science. syllabus. Does this explain something? Yes, it explains that @BJP4India doesn't believe in these principles and validates its past behaviour," he said in another tweet.

Earlier in the day, Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank rejected criticism over alleged conspiracy in CBSE's decision to reduce the syllabus of schools due to COVID-19 outbreak and urged the critics to "leave politics out of education".

"There has been a lot of uninformed commentary on the exclusion of some topics from #CBSESyllabus. The problem with these comments is that they resort to sensationalism by connecting topics selectively to portray a false narrative," the Union Minister tweeted.

"It is our humble request:#Education is our sacred duty towards our children. Let us leave politics out of education and make our politics more educated," he added.

The CBSE has revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII during the academic session 2020-21 in the wake of the situation created by COVID-19.

In a circular issued to all the heads of the institutions affiliated to it, the CBSE had said that the revision of syllabi has been done due to the extraordinary situation prevailing in the country and different parts of the world.
