Former PM, RS member Deve Gowda meets Jal Shakti minister, discusses water disputes in Karnataka
BENGALURU: Former PM and Rajya Sabha member HD Deve Gowda on Friday met Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil in New Delhi and discussed various water-related issues concerning Karnataka, including the states concern over it getting a raw deal in allocation of its share in various river-linking projects. During the meeting, Gowda demanded that 25 tmcft of water be allocated to Karnataka in the Godavari-Krishna-Cauvery river linking project, to which Patil responded positively. Gowda had recently expressed displeasure over the allocation of 15.891 tmcft of water of the 147 tmcft assessed as available for diversion and said that he would write to PM Narendra Modi to resolve the matter. Apart from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu (40.93 tmcft), Telangana (45.061 tmcft), Andhra Pradesh (43.861 tmcft), and Puducherry (2.189 tmcft) were allocated their share. Apart from this, quick approval of the states irrigation projects and provision of necessary grants were discussed.
Nine injectable drugs made in other states failed sterility tests, says Health Minister Dinesh Rao
BENGALURU: Expressing grave concern over several instances of the sale of contaminated injectable drugs, Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has urged Union Health Minister JP Nadda to create a system for all laboratories in states and those under the Centre to share alerts on drugs that have failed sterility tests. In a letter to Nadda on February 20, Rao stated that nine injectable drugs, which have been manufactured in other states, failed sterility tests in government laboratories of Karnataka between January 1 and February 16. Rao said the list of drugs did not include injectables manufactured by Paschim Banga Pharmaceuticals based in West Bengal, whose contaminated injectables caused the death of five young mothers in Ballari district. Asserting that he has instructed health officials to take adequate steps to ensure these drugs are notsold in Karnataka, Rao stated that it is highly likely that contaminated drugs manufactured by these companies are sold in other states. Injectables, as you are aware, are used in acute care. Given the life or death consequences for patients being administered these contaminated drugs, I request you to ensure all products sold by these companies are withdrawn from across India and these companies are not allowed to sell any drugs until they are inspected by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation for compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices, Rao said. He said, In addition to the system to share alerts, there should be a legal requirement to share sales records from the manufacturer to enable seizure of contaminated drugs before they are given to patients, Rao said. It should alert doctors, pharmacists and patients,he added.

BBMP resolves long-standing dispute with Public Utility Building traders
Namma ooru is suddenly buzzing! Everyone is racing against time (this little month has only 28 days, remember?) and throwing back-to-back parties and events. Everywhere there are POTS (pretty old things) and PYTS (their younger counterparts) waiting to be noticed. A drink in hand and their tummy-tuckers firmly in place the new/old brigade is partying with a vengeance. Ever since the planets re-aligned themselves in some awesome conjunction, people are fed up with their dark and dour lives. There has been illness, death and other than plague and pestilence, just about every other viral or bacterial infection has plagued us. I too decided to give a firm shake-off to my present dark state of mind and tentatively step out with family and friends. My first tentative stop was at Comal, the New Mexican Cantina everyone is raving about. One the partners/ chef is the very talented Varun Pereira, who has made this cosy (barely) 30-seater restaurant into the talk of the town. Of course we gorged on tacos and the pulled meats and feasted on the most awesome Guacamole or guac as the young-uns call it. My son and my fave niece laughed and ate as if there was no tomorrow as we met up with friends (hers and mine) and it was wonderful to meet with Varun again after a long time. As singer Stuart James crooned; Life aint that bad. Zoya, the exquisite diamond boutique, is unfortunately located two buildings away from where I stay! I have passed that glittering-siren many times as I regularly zoom up that road. This time I was cordially invited to look not necessarily buy. I determinedly took my BFF, Alka Dev with me to ward off all temptations. But alas! She turned out to be more of an enabler than a deterrent. Under her keen gaze with a knack of pulling out really pretty pieces, she steered me toward a lovely piece of jewellery which looked like the step-wells of Gujarat. What do you expect? Of course I bought it! Not only that, we decided to traipse into ITC Gardenias superb niche restaurant, Cajsa, which serves world cuisine. Its wonderful and truly a blessing to spend your evening with your bestie, and wear one piece of perfection around your neck and partake on a truly perfect dinner. Yes! Life aint that bad. Manan Mehta, Devika Chitnis and Lesha Parekh My friend Nikhil Agarwal, the hot shot conceptualiser of All things Nice the premiere wine and spirits consulting and market agency was in namma ooru again this week. This time he invited us to a tasting of fine Australian wines over a selection of specially-curated appetisers at Lupa. Chef Manu Chandra never fails to impress! And Im certainly not saying this because he is a good friend. Manu is a master in the kitchen. He is meticulous and focussed and even as he was chatting with me in his impeccably clean and organised kitchen, I spied with my beady lil eye that everyone knew what they were supposed to do, and there was no chaos. Lovely! We all seem to have faced travesties in the last year. I see us all limping back to a semblance of normalcy. Its our expectations that hurt not others actions Life aint that bad!

WPL 2024: MI Head Coach Hails Wunderkind Kamali, Says She Is A Superstar In The Making
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In a high-pressure moment that could have broken many seasoned cricketers, it was 16-year-old Kamalini who stood tall and delivered the match-winning blow for Mumbai Indians in their dramatic four-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The young batter's composed finish in the final over was the night's talk, and Mumbai Indians head coach Charlotte Edwards couldn't help but gush over her talent. What a superstar she (Kamalini) is going to be. She is a cheeky, little thing but what a job she did tonight. We are taking each game as it comes, we knew bowling first tonight was in our favour but then you have to get the runs, which I thought we did quite calmly, until that last few overs. Chuffed to get the win, said Edwards. Edwards also highlighted the importance of domestic players in the teams success, especially Amanjot Kaur, who, with an explosive cameo, played a vital role in bringing Mumbai closer to the target. Success as a team in this competition is about how well your domestic players play. We know she (Amanjot) can do this. What an innings and those sixes at the end were pretty special, she said. The loss against Delhi Capitals was Mumbais first and only loss of the season and the win was certainly a statement victory as they handed the defending champs their first loss of the season. Edwards also highlighted the importance of domestic players in the teams success, especially Amanjot Kaur, who, with an explosive cameo, played a vital role in bringing Mumbai closer to the target.

WPL 2025: Kamalini, 16, Seals Mumbai's Four-wicket Win Over RCB In Final-over Thriller
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Nat Sciver-Brunt (42), Harmanpreet Kaur (50) and Amanjot Kaur (34) came up cameo to seal Mumbai Indians four-wicket win over the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Friday. However, the moment that stood out in the game came in the final over when the 16-year-old batter G. Kamalini struck the winning runs for Mumbai to seal victory for Mumbai with a ball to spare. After Elysse Perrys 81-run contribution helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru scrape to 167/7 in their 20 overs, the defending champions struck first blood in the second over when wicketkeeper batter Yastika Bhatia was caught by Kim Garth in front of the middle and off stump. However, Mumbai kept chipping away at the total with 49 runs coming in the next four overs. Nat Sciver-Brunts quickfire 42 off 21 deliveries was the main reason for that. The next breakthrough moment came in the sixth over when Ekta Bisht was introduced for the first time. Sciver-Brunt made sure to take full advantage by smashing three consecutive boundaries before Hayley Matthews joined the party by finding the boundary before being trapped LWB on the last ball of the over. Kim was once again the architect as she caught Sciver-Brunt plumb in front of the stumps an over later. The off-cutter saw the English batter try and swipe at it but the bowl kept low and trapped her in front of the stumps. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Amanjot Kaur combined for a 62-run partnership, which also saw the captain reach her sixth half-century in the tournament. Mumbai looked well-paced for a comfortable win until Georgia Wareham spun the game on its head in the 18th over by dismissing Harmanpreet and Sajeevan Sajana off consecutive deliveries. Amanjot Kaur, who was named Player of the Match for her contribution with both bat and ball, struck two sixes in the 19th over off Kanika Ahuja to help bring Mumbai to within six runs off the target. After scoring at a run-a-ball in the first four balls of the over, and a super overlooking more likely, Kamalini stood tall and scored a four on the second last ball to seal the win with one ball to spare. In the first innings, Perry played the rescue act with a well-crafted 81-run contribution. Perry graced the fans with 11 boundaries and two sixes as she watched her batting partners struggle from one end whilst she thrived from the other. Smriti Mandhana continued her onslaught, having scored 81 runs in their last game against the Delhi Capitals, and flew straight out of the floodgates by hitting Shabnim Ismail for two boundaries in the opening over. However, it was Shabnim who had the last laugh. Mandhana continued her strong hitting with two fours in the third over before being caught off guard with a back-of-the-length delivery. An attempted pull saw the RCB skipper lob the ball straight up in the air making for an easy catch for Yastika Bhatia. Elysse Perry did not take any time to make a statement by smashing a four, over square leg, on the very next ball. Danni Wyatt-Hodge was the next to depart as an outside-off delivery by Sciver-Brunt saw the English batter try and hammer it into the stands but ended up giving a simple catch to Hayley Matthews. Raghvi Bishts underwhelming start to the season continued as she was dismissed on her third delivery by Hayley in the very next over. A slower ball outside off saw Raghvi try to dispatch it for a six but was caught by the fielder at Deep mid-off. Kanika Ahuja also struggled against spin before being bowled over by Sanskriti Gupta in her first over of the game. Richa Ghosh, RCBs hero from the opening game against Gujarat, and Perry combined for a vital 50-run partnership to take the home side to a defendable total. With the duo getting set well and a huge total looking more and more likely for the home side, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur called on the services of Amanjot Kaur and she delivered instantly by knocking over the wicket of Richa. With wickets falling from one end, Perry continued her strong hitting and hammered away to her fifty in 30 deliveries, After reaching the milestone she switched gears and went on to take RCB to the solid total before being caught on the second last delivery of the innings. Brief scores: With wickets falling from one end, Perry continued her strong hitting and hammered away to her fifty in 30 deliveries, After reaching the milestone she switched gears and went on to take RCB to the solid total before being caught on the second last delivery of the innings.

Safety inspection for Bengaluru Metro's first driverless train on February 24
Bengaluru: The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will carry out the inspection of the first driverless train for the Yellow Line which arrived from China on February 24, said Metro officials. Meanwhile, in another significant development, the six domestically manufactured coaches for the Line which reached Hebbagodi depot a fortnight ago have been coupled to form the second train for the Yellow Line. A senior official told TNIE ,We had filed our application to the CMRS for sending them to the Railway Board. The Commissioner has cleared the documents and will inspect the train on February 24. This will only be a train inspection and the Yellow Line will be inspected by the end of March. The train had reached Hebbagodi depot over a year earlier on Feb 14, 2024. The 19.15-km line from R V Road to Bommasandra via Electronic City was ready long ago but could not be launched due to a delay in the supply of driverless trains. An updated version of the Automatic Train Control Software for the train is expected to be received by BMRCL on February 28, he added. This will enable us to test the train with driver or without driver, he explained. The Railway Design and Standards Organisation had cleared the train design on January 21, the official said. Since the train is based on the Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) technology and a first for Bengaluru Metro, the RDSO clearance was mandatory, he added. Giving a timeline of the steps before the launch of the line, the official said, Signalling static tests are in progress. Signalling dynamic tests on the line will start after receipt of the software. Multiple train tests will be completed by the middle of March. The third-party certification by an Independent Safety Assessor for certification of signalling will be done by the last week of March. The line will be ready for CMRS inspection by April, he specified. The coaches for the third driverless train is expected to reach the City by the first week of April from Titagarh.

BENGALURU: A 33-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped at a hotel in Koramangala, police said on Friday. Three of the accused have been arrested and the incident occurred around midnight on Thursday, they added. The woman works in catering services and serves food at events, police said. In her complaint, the victim alleged that she was waiting at Jyothi Nivas College junction when four men in their twenties approached her and started a conversation.

Karnataka HC directs revenue officials to record injunction orders in land records
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court directed the Principal Secretary of the Revenue Department to issue necessary instructions to all revenue officers to mandatorily reflect ot to alienate injunction orders granted by civil courts in the other rights column of the revenue records to prevent unnecessary litigation and safeguard the integrity of judicial orders. Allowing the petition filed by Suvarna from Hennagara village in Anekal taluk questioning the endorsement dated December 31, 2024, issued by the Special Tahsildar of Anekal taluk in respect of the injunction granted by a civil court in a partition suit, Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum questioned the conduct of the Special Tahsildar in refusing to make entries in revenue record on untenable reason that state was not a party in the litigation. Quashing the impugned endorsement, the court directed the tahsildar and the Assistant Commissioner of Bengaluru South Sub Division to incorporate forthwith the injunction granted by the civil court in the original suit concerning the disputed property in the other rights column of the revenue records. Revenue authorities, as custodians of land records, are duty-bound to comply with orders of the civil court and ensure that rights declared by judicial forums are given full effect. Failure to do so would not only amount to willful disobedience of court orders but would also encourage illegal transactions in derogation of the rights of the litigating parties, the court said. In the suit filed by the petitioner for partition and consequential reliefs, the civil court, after considering the application under Order 39 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), granted an injunction restraining the defendants from alienating the suit property. Despite the subsistence of this injunction, the Tahsildar, relying on a circular, issued an impugned endorsement stating that since the state government was not a party to the civil proceedings, he was not bound to reflect the injunction order in the other rights column of the revenue records. Terming this approach of the revenue authorities as legally untenable and needs to be condemned in the strongest possible terms, the court said that the present case highlights a regrettable state of affairs where revenue authorities have failed to uphold the legal sanctity of an injunction order granted by a competent civil court in a partition suit. Revenue officials refusing to enforce injunction orders because they are not parties to the suit defies logic and the fundamental principles of the judicial process. Such act of revenue authorities not only undermines the authority of the civil courts but also pave the way for fraudulent transactions and multiplicity of litigations, which the injunction orders seek to prevent, the court observed.

DRI busts seven FICN printing modules in Maharashtra, Bihar, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh
NEW DELHI: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Friday said it has busted and dismantled seven modules involved in printing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and arrested nine people following a massive crackdown across the four states of Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh. Officials said the action was part of the agencys ongoing drive against modules involved in importing security paper and printing FICNs. DRI officials conducted simultaneous searches at 11 locations across the four states on Thursday, they added. At Vikhroli West in Mumbai, the sleuths identified and located an importer. After a thorough search in a densely populated area, they uncovered a sophisticated facility for printing and finishing FICNs. Fake currency notes in the denominations of Rs 50 and Rs 100, along with several tools, were seized, officials said. The seized items included laptops, printers, pen drives, security paper, A-4 size papers, and butter paper with Mahatma Gandhis watermark. Officials added that the DRI registered a complaint with the jurisdictional police and arrested one person. All equipment and tools were seized under the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for further investigation. In Maharashtras Sangamner and Kolhapur districts, similar facilities with computers and printers used for printing FICNs were unearthed. Officials said two accused were arrested following raids at these locations, and the contraband was seized by the jurisdictional police under BNS for further investigation. Interrogation of the accused in the Kolhapur module led to the busting of another printing facility in Belgaum. Kolhapur police arrested three more persons in connection with the case. At three other locations, including West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, Khagaria in Bihar, and Rohtak in Haryana, the importers of security paper were traced, officials said. Incriminating evidence was recovered. Restricted security paper and a printer were seized in West Godavari, while laptops, printers, and restricted security paper were recovered in Khagaria. The jurisdictional police arrested three accused, and the case has been handed over for further investigation under BNS, officials said. On February 8, the DRI arrested two persons in Uttar Pradeshs Ghazipur district and Bengaluru, Karnataka, for allegedly importing high-quality paper embedded with a security thread inscribed with RBI and Bharat. Following this, on February 9, the DRI busted two more facilities in Thane, Maharashtra, and Bhiwani, Haryana, where FICNs were being printed using imported security paper. Three persons were arrested by the jurisdictional police, officials said.

WPL 2025: How Sanskriti Gupta Went From Being Mumbai Indians Fan To Playing For Franchise
How Sanskriti Gupta: Sanskriti Guptas confidence in the Mumbai Indians picking her in last years WPL auction in Bengaluru is evident in her clear and assured words. Sanskriti was so certain shed join MI that she only attended the sides trials happening before the auction. I was ready in my mind that maybe MI might take me in the auction this time, as I gave only their trials. When MI eventually picked me (for INR 10 lakh), everyone was very happy, including my family back home. The head coach (Charlotte Edwards) messaged me saying, welcome to the family. Devieka (Palshikaar, batting coach) maam also texted me and said, Its good you are here; we will win this time, recalls Sanskriti, now an MI player in WPL 2025, in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Sanskritis intense fandom for MI largely stems from their 2019 IPL final victory, where Lasith Malinga trapped Shardul Thakur lbw on the final ball of the match to help the team clinch their fourth title. During the recently concluded Vadodara leg of WPL 2025, Sanskritis transition from MI supporter to player was complete after playing in the sides season opener against Delhi Capitals and being in the team for their victory over Gujarat Giants. Sanskriti, 20, is yet to fully showcase her all-round skills in the WPL - making only two runs in one innings and yet to get a go with her off-spin bowling, which was instrumental in Madhya Pradeshs Senior Womens One-Day Trophy win. But Sanskriti still made some impact via fielding - taking two catches and effecting a run-out. Although the WPL 2025 season is still early, Sanskriti is expected to make significant contributions to the matches in Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Mumbai. Right now, shes delighted at the love and support received in the camp MI, with her family keen to see her play in future matches. It has been a very good experience. When I spoke to the coaches before my first game, everyone told me that I just have to do well. I told my family back home as well about making my debut and they were very happy. They are following me a lot in the WPL. When Saturdays game was on, everyone was sitting in front of the TV and waiting for me to play. In domestic circuit, there is a lot of freedom, but they do tell you how to do something in a certain way. Here, you just have to stay the way you are. You are good, thats why you have been selected, so thats it. The coaches in MI set-up have been excellent; everyone is very supportive and have been really good towards me, she added. Sanskriti hails from Sidhi, a district an hour and 20 mins away from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, and started playing cricket as a sixth grader. Sanskriti discovered a whole new world through cricket, especially womens cricket, which shed never known before. Encouragement to take up the sport came in heaps from her family - her father used to play football, while dabbling in cricket and basketball in his younger days. Her uncles, both older and younger, also played various sports, which meant they knew the challenges of making a career out of it. When I was 17-18, they used to ask me when I would play at the higher level and were concerned that despite playing for a long time, why nothing had materialised. But now they support me a lot and want me to play as many matches quickly, recalls Sanskriti. To further her cricket career, Sanskriti moved from Sidhi to Shahdol after 1.5 years of training, where better facilities allowed her to compete in divisional matches. Three years later, Sanskritis life took a turn when the government-funded Womens Cricket Academy in Shivpuri opened in January 2022 and she joined it instantly. I used to live in Shahdol, who I represented in the division matches, by renting a room there for three years. After that, when the government opened the academy, I directly shifted there. I didnt have an option to think and shifted directly to Shivpuri, where I found a coach named Arun Singh there. Sanskritis impressive fielding in her two WPL matches is a direct result of the strong emphasis on fielding skills during her formative years, which also contributed to her initial selection for the Madhya Pradesh senior womens team. When I used to live in Sidhi, I used to do a lot of fielding at the academy there. Its one of the big reasons why I have been good at fielding. When I shifted to Shahdol, I started batting and bowling gradually and improved those skills by practising a lot. Initially, I started by being a pacer. Then I became an off spinner after a while. I was already good at batting. Gradually, I improved in all aspects of the game. Being under Singh at the academy in Shivpuri also helped Sanskriti to evolve more as an all-rounder. I am very happy that his hard work on me is paying off. I havent got a coach like him yet. Like if a youngster gets a coach like him soon, she will go very far in their playing career. One gets to learn a lot from him. He picks the right things for you to develop as cricketers in all skillsets and is aware of what a player requires. I have a good bonding with him, as one can actually talk to him freely. Playing for Madhya Pradeshs U-16 team for three years, Sanskriti found the competition tough, and realisation struck of her needing more hardwork to play at a higher level. There, I got an idea about the higher level of womens cricket. From there, I got the realisation that no matter what happens, I have to keep playing cricket. While she loved hitting sixes over long-on and bowling off-breaks to castle right-handed batsmen, Sanskriti reflects on her three frustrating years with the U19 team, where she didnt achieve any significant progress. However, the Madhya Pradesh system refused to let her go, and she ultimately found a way to succeed. The MP team were supporting me a lot, but still, I was not able to perform. Despite that, they didnt let go of me and kept supporting. Then in U23, my performances started to come out. In my last year of U19, I scored a century and later hit 39 off 13 balls. Following this, Sanskriti played a key role in Madhya Pradeshs three successive victories in the U19, U23, and Senior Womens categories. My performances were good in all of them. I bowled the last over in U23 final when Delhi needed eight runs off six balls, and we won the match from there. Everyones support was good in recent one-day championship win. All the teammates put in a lot of effort, as we were waiting to win the seniors trophy and were working hard to get it for a long time. When the result came in front of us, it turned out to be a very good one. Though Sanskriti went wicketless in the Senior Womens One Day Trophy final this season, she had picked 16 wickets in Madhya Pradeshs run to winning trophy for the first time. Featuring in the same playing eleven alongside her was pacer Kranti Goud, who took a four-fer in the final and is now with UP Warriorz in the WPL. It also made Sanskriti and Kranti the second and third players from Madhya Pradesh to feature in the WPL after India all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar, whos currently out of action due to an injury. Its a very proud thing that the youngsters are coming from Madhya Pradesh into the WPL. Being in WPL is a good opportunity for us as we the younger players will get more experience at the senior level in terms of matches and conditions on offer. The earlier opportunities are grabbed, it will help us in the future. Its a very proud thing that as young players, we get a chance to prove ourselves on such a platform and showcase that we have the talent to do good in cricket, added Sanskriti. Sanskriti has forged strong bonds with her MI teammates, including fellow spin all-rounders Amandeep Kaur, Jintimani Kalita, and G Kamalini, and chatted with Amanjot Kaur and Sajana Sajeevan. More than anything, shes thrilled to be playing alongside Harmanpreet Kaur in WPL 2025. I dont have a lot of inspirations; its just like their some of their things. I like Harman dis fielding and attitude on the ground. So, very excited to be in this team and play alongside her. I feel good being around her as she is the Indian team skipper and is also the captain here. Sanskritis life has been an incredible journey filled with valuable lessons in going from a small town in Sidhi to playing for her beloved Mumbai Indians in the WPL. Should everything go to plan, she may become a WPL winner if MI lifts the trophy at the Brabourne Stadium on March 15, if the absolute clarity in her words are to go by. I dont have a lot of inspirations; its just like their some of their things. I like Harman dis fielding and attitude on the ground. So, very excited to be in this team and play alongside her. I feel good being around her as she is the Indian team skipper and is also the captain here. Also Read: Highest tax paying cricketers Article Source: IANS

AISEC: Instead of shutting government schools in Karnataka, address root cause of low enrolment
BENGALURU: Karnataka State Committee of All India Save Education Committee (AISEC) condemned the the state governments alleged plan to shut down 6,000 government schools, citing poor enrolment ratio. In a media statement on Thursday, AISEC President Allamaprabhu Bettaduru said, The School Reform Commission had submitted a proposal to the previous BJP government to merge schools with less than ten children with nearby schools, giving an illogical pretext that they are not able to provide quality education to them. Despite opposition since its submission, the government is now pushing ahead with school closures. If this plan goes through, over 25 % of government schools in the state will shut down, impacting the future of more than 50,000 children, he warned He further questioned the governments claim that it would arrange transport for students from remote villages. When families are already struggling with unemployment and financial difficulties, how can they afford to send their children to distant places? This is nothing but an excuse to close the schools, Bettaduru alleged. If the state government is really interested in saving the public education system and government schools, then they should find the root cause of poor enrolment in these schools and take steps to address them. Providing universal education is the primary duty of the government and should not be viewed through a profit-and-loss lens, he said. Bettaduru also accused the state government of treating education as a burden, calling it a a green signal for the privatisation of education. He urged the state to allocate 10% of its budget to save government schools and colleges, abolish unscientific methods of teaching in government schools, introduce time-tested teaching methods and fill adequate teaching and non-teaching posts.
