Bengaluru, Jun 19: The Karnataka government has been advised by its Educational Advisor to cancel holidays observed in educational institutions on the occasion of various Jayantis (birth annivesaries).
Advisor to Karnataka government on Education, Professor MR Doreswamy, has recommended cancellation of holidays on Jayanti and celebrate the day with more meaningful programmes remembering the great personalities.
The state government has declared public holidays on Valmiki Jayanti, Basava Jayanti, Kanaka Jayanti, Mahavir Jayanti, Ambedkar Jayanti and Gandhi Jayanti.
On Thursday, Doreswamy submitted a report containing seven key suggestions including cancelling holidays, to Deputy Chief Minister CN Aswath Narayan, who holds higher education portfolio.
Doreswamy in his report suggested to hold thematic workshops, lectures, conferences and other such activities to celebrate the life and works of the great personalities, instead of declaring holidays.
"It would not only educate our youth about the significance of the great personalities to our culture and society and also reinvents the tradition of paying tributes to their contributions to our civil society,'' he said.
Dr Narayan said that the decision on cancelling holidays on Jayanti's has to be taken by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.
Moreover, to bring education back on track during the present COVID-19 pandemic situation, Doreswamy made a few suggestions to complete exams of final semester engineering and graduate students. He also said that it was a challenge for the education sector to overcome the pandemic crisis and structure the next academic year 2021-22.
He also advised implementation of a mentoring system in all higher education institutions in Karnataka and empowering specially-abled students.

Dear Mr. Kumar, your comment reflects your immaturity, lack of understanding of the situation and although I'm sure your intentions were at the right place. I would like to tell you that the deceased and both the parents were not fools. Only you seem like a fool here for that insensitive comment. I hope no harm comes to you and ur loved ones and you are not called a fool for it. I wish you a safe life. Also, I hope you did pray for the departed soul.
Dear Mr Kumar, your comment shows your lack of understanding of the situation. Also the parents were not at fault here. Since you didn't know the person and since the full situation is not given.. I would suggest you would shut up before passing blame or using such words about the deceased person. The person and parents were both not fools. The only fool I see here is you. I suggest you stay safe though. And no harm comes to you. And people not call you a fool after such a tragic incident. Also thank you Mr./mrs.shaji for showing maturity and decency.
Dear Kumar, we cant blame parents. sometimes, they are helpless agaisnt the hard will of their kids. Some boys even say to their parents that they will discontinue study in case their demand is not met. May God bless kids with correct way of life.
