Mangalore, March 12: The St Aloysius Institute of Management and Information Technology, MBA Division, is organizing a two-day national level management fest 'Insignia-2012' from Mar 15 at the AIMIT, Beeri campus, near here.

Announced this at a press meet here on Monday, Rev Fr Denzil Lobo, Director AIMIT, Dr Fr Oswald Mascarenhas , Chairman MBA, and Mr Shawn Pereira , Faculty Co-ordinator, said the event would be inaugurated by Vishal Hegde, Trustee, Nitte Education Trust. The valedictory ceremony would be presided by Walter D Souza, Chairman, FIEO, in the evening of March 16.

Insignia 2012 is a bold step towards a paradigm shift towards management studies and is a quest for another meaningful dimension to management studies. The theme for this year's fest is 'The Blue Oceanic Quest – A Journey beyond imagination'. In order to tackle the growing concerns of compartmentalisation, the institute is presenting a small yet effective step of integrating the various management disciplines at Insignia- 2012.

The prime objective of Insignia-2012 is to help management students to look at the blue oceans i.e. markets, products, ideas that are unexplored rather than fight for a small share in the red-competitive oceans. The key to achieve these blue oceans can only be thinking creatively, innovatively and thinking out of the box. The organizers have come up with this innovative idea of including even fashion- management institutes fort his learning –enriching experience besides MBA/PG programs in business. The registration fee per team is Rs 3000 which includes food and accommodation and to and fro transportation expenses between AIMIT and Mangalore. The performance of the participants will be evaluated by some of the industry professionals, academicians, researchers and internal teaching faculty.

The learning –extravaganza will be conducted in an environment of complete fun and freedom, in the form of seven different events. These events are: Best Chief Minister, The AIMIT village, Catastrophic Healthcare Management, Sports Management, Fashion and Entertainment, Eco Management and Personal Investment Planning.

None of these events are the traditional compartmentalised management –fast games of marketing, HR or Finance and they focus on different dimensions of business management. All these events will have multiple engrossing, compelling and engaging rounds with the increasing levels of complexity. The events will be conducted in the beautiful and vast 17 acre campus and also around the locality, adding maximum punch of practicality to them. The final round ,a complete integration one will be conducted in the college auditorium by 2.30 PM on Mar 16,2012.

The organizers will also be conducting a mega cultural evening on Mar 15 starting 6 PM. It will feature a fashion show by the participants, musical, dance, skit performance and finally a band performance by the students of At Aloysius College, MBA.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: After the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reduced the syllabi for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Karnataka government has followed the suit. The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapters on legendary south Indian rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent. 

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

The trimmed textbooks uploaded on the website of the Department of State Education Research and Training (DSERT) by Karnataka state Textbook Society revealed removal of chapters on Tipu Sultan for the seventh grade.

Justifying the decision, officials said, "students study similar chapters in Class 6 and more in the 10th grade." Yet another senior official from the Text Book Society said, "Trimming does not mean we have removed half of the syllabus from textbooks. It is only keeping in mind the repetition we have condensed the chapters. In case students study about a particular dynasty in higher grades, then the same had been removed from lower grades."

A few months ago, there was an uproar over dropping of content on Tipu Sultan and MLAs from the ruling BJP also demanded the same and petitioned to the Chief Minister. Even an expert committee led by Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa suggested to not drop any content on the historic figure. However, the department still decided to drop lessons from one of the classes while keeping the syllabus short for the next 120 active academic days.

Earlier this month, a controversy had erupted over the CBSE's decision to omit topics like federalism, secularism, citizenship, etc while reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12. The education board had issued a detailed clarification later, stating that topics claimed to be dropped "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

Last week, the Congress in Uttar Pradesh expressed its concern over 'deliberate and systematic' deletions of chapters related to the freedom struggle and the party's role in it from the Class 10-12 syllabi of the Secondary Education Board.

Following classification of this account as non-performing in October 2019 by a consortium member, Karnataka Bank reported to RBI a fraud amounting to Rs 43.44 crore in the credit facilities extended earlier, on account of diversion of funds.
