Will dismiss cops behind crimes: Karnataka Home Minister after Bengaluru ATM cash van heist
BENGALURU: With a police constable allegedly involved in the Rs 7.11 crore daylight robbery in the city, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday warned that if anyone from the police department is found involved in criminal activities, strict action will be taken and no mercy shown. They will be dismissed from service without hesitation, and legal action will also follow, he said. After meeting City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh and Joint Commissioners Ajay Hilori and Vamshi Krishna at his residence in Sadashivanagar on the ongoing investigation into the heist, Parameshwara said seven accused have been arrested in the case. A few more are yet to be traced. Parameshwara said he instructed senior officers to remain vigilant. Parameshwara congratulated the police commissioner, two joint commissioners who oversaw the investigation, two DCPs and over 200 staff members for cracking the case within 72 hours. When such an incident took place in Bengaluru, it was hard for anyone to believe it. It was an act that could have brought a bad name to the city. The case was a major challenge to the police department. So far, Rs 6.29 crore has been recovered, and the remaining will be traced. The police worked with high technical precision and intelligence to solve the case, he said. It is being verified whether the cash management company followed RBI rules, he added. Action will be taken against them as well if they were not following the rules he said.
Phase-3 double decker corridor will not ease traffic in Bengaluru: Report
BENGALURU: While the city administrators are trying hard to decongest roads and coming up with several projects, including the 37-km double-decker (flyover-cum-Metro) corridor along the Phase-3 of Namma Metro, the Feasibility-cum-Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the project revealed that it may not help reduce the traffic as expected. According to the executive summary of the report, the traffic flow analysis at junctions between Kadabagere and Hosahalli and along JP Nagar to Hebbal corridor shows that even with the elevated corridor, ground-level traffic does not reduce significantly compared to the existing road. This suggested that the tolled elevated road will fail to relieve existing surface road congestion. Indeed a survey of 1,000 respondents was conducted as part of the DPR. As per it, 78% reported peak-hour congestion between 6 am and 9 am and 48% between 6 pm and 9 pm. However, it was found that 91% of commuters were unwilling to pay tolls for improved road infrastructure. As per the executive summary, traffic projections for the Kadabagere to Hosahalli corridor showed that the proposed elevated corridor brings only marginal relief to ground level traffic in most sections. In 2031, traffic between Kadabagere and Magadi Road would drop from 1,837 to 1,369 Passenger Car Units (PCUs), and in 2041 it would drop from 2,095 to 1,640 PCUs and so on with the other two junctions of the corridor, the summary noted. Similarly, the traffic flow between the five junctions of the JP Nagar to Hebbal corridor showed that the PCUs between the JP Nagar and Sarakki Junction would drop from 2,895 to 2,701 in 2031. And in the year 2041, from 3,465 to 3,222 PCUs. Similar marginal reductions are consistent with the other four junctions of the corridor. Commenting on the minimal effect the double decker flyover along the Phase-3 has on ground traffic, Satya Arikutharam, an independent mobility expert, said, There is no transport case for building the double decker structure throughout the Phase-3 alignment. A tolled facility doesnt remove any significant surface road congestion. And if it is free, it impacts Metro viability. Integrated structures only make sense in short sections where it can make the road network efficient, like Goraguntepalya Junction, he added. Traffic expert Prof Sreehari M N said, Flyovers are not the solution. Anywhere in the world, flyovers have failed to solve congestion. They quickly become uneconomical. He explained that the actual reduction in ground-level traffic is minimal because Bengalurus traffic pressure is highly uneven, with peak and off-peak hours behaving differently. During peak hours, the priority should be to increase the carrying capacity of public transport, not build more flyovers, he said.
Bengaluru to install 1,000 steel litter bins in high footfall areas with CSR support
BENGALURU: To improve the waste management in high foot-traffic areas, the Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited (BSWML), with support from CSR funds, is preparing to install steel litter bins to better manage waste. BSWML CEO Karee Gowda told TNIE that a firm has offered to donate 1,000 litter bins, which will be placed across the city. The speciality of these bins is that they are designed to accommodate plants on top of them, and the bins have provisions for wet and dry waste collection. We have observed that one of the major problems for littering of water bottles, chip wrappers, chocolate covers, tissues, etc, in public places is the absence of enough bins. We need more bins in bus stands, commercial hubs and roads, Gowda said. With the support of private firms, we are gearing up to place the litter bins at places where they are needed the most, he added. On roadsides, more dry waste is generated compared to wet waste. So, these bins are designed to accommodate more dry waste. The collected segregated wastes from the 1,000 bins will be regularly cleared by BSWML, he said. The BSWML CEO said that they have finalised the litter bin model and are working out the cost of each bin.
BTS 2025 achieved 37% reduction in emission: IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge
BENGALURU: IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge on Sunday announced that the Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS) 2025, which concluded on November 20, saw a 37% reduction in carbon emission. The summit was conducted under Kharge, who formally concluded the event as well. We achieved a 37% carbon reduction, supported by increased Metro use and allied initiatives. Tummoc, an ELEVATE grant winner, enabled 5,000+ free metro rides for delegates this means 5,000 fewer private vehicle trips to the venue (sic), Kharge said in a social media post. Attended by around 92,500 persons, the BTS 2025 generated over 9,700 kg of waste, which was all recycled, Kharge said, adding that the goal of zero waste to landfill has been achieved for the third year in a row. The minister further said in his post that around 12,000 participants were assessed for sustainability awareness during the summit, and 850 stalls were evaluated for the Sustainable Stall Awards. The BTS continues to show that innovation and sustainability can go and grow together, Kharge said, assuring that a detailed sustainability report on the summit would follow.
Bengaluru business corridor: Landowners decry two decades of restrictions, low compensation
BENGALURU: For almost 20 years, landowners along the proposed Bengaluru Business Corridor (BBC), who were notified by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) for the 73-km phase of the project, have faced restrictions on selling, developing, or even transferring property, eroding their economic potential. With their land under notification, owners said they missed countless opportunities to develop their land. Munegowda, a farmer from Kadugodi, whose family owns nearly an acre in the project area, said, Since our land was notified, the pahani (land record) is marked in their name. We cant sell it for needs like education or weddings, and I cant even transfer it to anyone. He urged the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to offer compensation at market value or, at the very least, match the rate paid for Metro land acquisitions. He pointed out that in the governments sub-registrar office, the guidance value for land in the area last year was much higher, but suddenly it has been reduced to Rs 2.25 crore this year. Now, BDA says they will pay Rs 2.25 crore per acre. How can prime land near Whitefield Metro Station and railway station lose its guidance value in a year? he asked. Jagadish Reddy, whose land has been under notification since the 2005 preliminary acquisition of 1,860 acres for Phase 1 of PRR, called it a human rights issue. For 20 years, we could do nothing. The location around us has developed, and we could have developed too. We would have given our land to developers and, with zero investment, at least received 40% of the market value, which comes to about Rs 45 crore, from the developers, he said. M Nagaraj, whose 33 guntas of two acres in Varthur were notified, said, For nearly two decades, due to the notification, I have not been able to get loans or construct anything on my land. I have been suffering for so long now; they should either denotify or give us the right compensation.

Centre to support preservation of ancient manuscripts at temple
KOTTAYAM: In a major boost to the efforts to preserve the collection of palm leaf manuscripts and thaaliyola grantha (books made of palm leaf manuscripts) recovered from the attic of the Kumaranalloor Devi temple in Kottayam last year, the temple authorities have secured support from the Union government. The Sevadhi Museum and Indological Research Institute, established for the preservation of the manuscripts, has received approval from the Gyan Bharatam Mission under the Union Ministry of Culture, to become an independent research institute. Gyan Bharatam is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Culture for identifying, documenting, conserving, digitising, preserving, and promoting Indias vast manuscript heritage. Samar Nanda, joint secretary, Ministry of Culture, and Hari C T, administrator of Sevadhi, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on behalf of their respective parties. Indrajeet Singh, director, Gyan Bharatam Mission, handed over the MoU at a function held at the Gyan Bharatam Mission headquarters in New Delhi. Hari C T received the MoU on behalf of Sevadhi. The Gyan Bharatam Mission aims at the comprehensive development, conservation and digitisation of archival study and research. To support the mission, Sevadhi boasts a library, a complete palm leaf collection, and the expertise of a trained curator. An MoU has also been signed with two institutions for technology transfer, with Sevadhi classified as an independent research institution. The extensive collection of palm-leaf manuscripts found at the temple is preserved at the Sevadhi Museum and Indological Research Institute, located within the temple complex. Sevadhi is enriched by a large collection of 37,200 palm leaves, and many rare books on medicine, astronomy, architecture, poetry, etc. A book called Kumaranalloor Granthavari has been published on the contents of these palm leaves. The objective of the Sevadhi Research Institute is to preserve palm leaves, make them available to researchers, make archaeology a subject of study among students, and create awareness among people about the need to preserve their tradition and heritage. To achieve this objective, Sevadhi conducted a three-month course in Epigraphy and Manuscriptology. At the end of the course, an examination was conducted in collaboration with Alliance University, Bengaluru, and certificates were awarded to the participants. An MoU was also signed with Alliance University for conducting various courses. Believed to be three centuries old, these manuscripts are expected to shed light on the life and society of people who lived during the Royal era of Kottayam.

To the Sky and Beyond : Malvika Iyer, disability rights activist on inclusivity across sectors
Losing is not failing. Giving up is failing, said well-known social worker and disability rights activist, Malvika Iyer, as she wrapped up hosting this years India Inclusion Summit (IIS) in Bengaluru. It is a philosophy that has guided her from surviving a grenade blast at age 13 to becoming one of Indias most recognisable voices for inclusion. She recalls her first stint hosting IIS in 2013, just months after she delivered her first public talk in Chennai, where, for the first time, she openly addressed her disability, her trauma and the years she spent trying to blend into a world that demanded normalcy. It was after the first time I spoke openly about my disability, my struggles, the years I spent hiding my hands. I just wanted to be part of the conversation, she shares. This year, her opening segment earned her a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes, a moment she describes as humbling and overwhelming. But applause aside, Iyer hopes the audience walked away with a shared sense of responsibility. Inclusion cannot be carried by a single person or sector. Caregivers, policymakers, educators, activists, journalists everyone has a role to play, says Iyer. The systemic change she wants to see most urgently is nothing but accessibility in a broader sense. Whether in technology, public transport or built environments, accessibility determines whether a person with disability can participate fully in life. For her, a crucial moment was travelling by metro in Delhi for the first time. She says, For most people, thats routine, but for me, it was exhilarating freedom. For me, the power of access to public spaces and technology changed my entire life. Her PhD research on the stigma surrounding disability revealed something she had long known intuitively: societal attitudes often disable a person more than their physical condition. My missing hands never made me feel helpless. Peoples pity did, she states. Beyond disability rights, Iyers advocacy spans accessible fashion, mental health and equality in all means. Ive lived with PTSD and anxiety since 2018. People only see my missing hands, but the story goes deeper. We must talk about the invisible struggles, too, she points out. Meanwhile, positive representation in media, she adds, has been crucial in changing this narrative in society both for her and for young people who now grow up seeing disability beyond a lens of tragedy. As the summit wrapped up, she reflected on how India is changing when it comes to being inclusive. The word disability is no longer whispered. Its becoming normal as it should, she says. And that shift marks the quiet revolution many like her have spent working towards. Embracing Disability The genesis of the India Inclusion Summit came from a simple thought: mindsets must change. When I first asked how I could contribute, Dr Arun Chowdhury told me that disability shouldnt be treated as taboo or approached with sympathy. It should be celebrated. That pushed me to imagine a world-class platform not a disability event but a conference that inspires, shares VR Ferose founder and chairman, IIS, adding, IIS leads with storytelling, not sermons. People come not because they have a disability, but because they leave feeling more human.

Rajasthan Royals Have Approached MCA For Hosting IPL 2026 Games In Pune, Reveals Secretary
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Just a week after it emerged that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been in discussions with the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) to host their IPL 2026 home fixtures in Pune, secretary Adv. Kamlesh Pisal has disclosed that Rajasthan Royals (RR) too have expressed interest in hosting some of their home matches at the MCA Stadium. RCB had also approached us for hosting their IPL 2026 home games, and the discussions are still ongoing with them. Now, the Rajasthan Royals have approached us for hosting their home games in IPL 2026. They had come to Pune recently, inspected the stadium, done the recce around it and have also shown willingness to host a part of their home matches here. Now it is left with the BCCI to confirm the venue and which teams matches it will host in IPL 2026, Pisal told IANS on Sunday. RRs decision to move some of their home matches away from their primary venue at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur arises from ongoing disagreements with the Rajasthan Cricket Association.

Agarkar & Co. Slated To Meet In Mumbai To Select Indias Squads For White-ball Games Against SA
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The senior mens selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is scheduled to convene in Mumbai on Sunday to select Indias squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, said sources to IANS. Agarkar, along with RP Singh and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, were in Guwahati on Saturday to attend day one of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. But IANS understands that the trio left for Mumbai from Guwahati on Sunday for the selection committee meeting at the BCCI headquarters. Yes, the selection meeting is today in Mumbai, after being initially presumed that it would happen in Guwahati. It is understood that other members are also travelling to Mumbai for it, further said the sources. Following the conclusion of the two-match Test series, India will play against South Africa in three ODIs, to be played in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam and five T20Is set to take place in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The discussion in the Agarkar-led panel is expected to centre a lot on who could lead the side for the ODI series against the Proteas. Theres a leadership vacuum in the 50-over set-up as captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries. With Gill also consulting Mumbai-based spinal surgeon Dr Abhay Nene for his neck injury recovery, it also puts him as a doubtful starter for the T20Is against South Africa, starting on December 9. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Pant, on the other hand, is captaining India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati, but hasnt been a first-choice starter in the 50-over set-up due to Rahuls presence. In Gills absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal could partner with Rohit Sharma at the top. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023.

Mandya district has lowest birth sex ratio in Karnataka
BENGALURU: Despite raising awareness among people and both the central and State governments promoting programmes to save the girl child, the Child Rights Index report released by the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR) on November 20 stated that the child sex ratio at birth (0-6 years) is still a concern in the state. The report is a study by S Madheswaran and BP Vani from the Institute for Social and Economic Change. In Karnataka, several districts have been identified with low sex ratios at birth, including Mandya, Bagalkot, Bidar, Chikkaballapur and Kalaburagi. These are districts with lower than 900 sex ratio at birth in one year or other. However, Indias SDG Index has a target sex ratio at birth of 950 females per 1,000 males. Mandya district has consistently shown a low sex ratio for four years 884 in 2020, 873 in 2021, 877 in 2022 and 887 in 2023. The sex ratio in the other districts in 2023 was 919 in Bagalkot, 920 in Bidar, 910 in Kalaburagi and 937 in Chikkaballapur. In 2022, the ratio in these districts stood at less than 900. The report calls it a matter of concern because the sex ratio at birth in the state was stable until 2011, and has declined to 916 during 2018-20. There is a drastic decline in child sex ratio from 975 in 1981 to 946 in 2001, it inched up to 948 in 2011 and declined again during 2018-20. Studies relating to sex ratio indicate that this could be due to a higher prevalence of sex selective abortions. It could also be due to imbalance in sex ratio at birth and excess female mortality (though male infants have higher rate of mortality than female infants) as compared to males post birth. There are various factors responsible for low female ratio, including gender-based differences in feeding practices, healthcare-seeking behaviour and difference in immunisation rates between boys and girls, states the report. The overall sex ratio is influenced by decreasing fertility rates and reduced family size, it said. Venkatesh, a member of KSCPCR in Mandya, said, It is difficult to trace these abortion centres unless someone from the same group reveals the truth. In one case, the centre was being operated in a jaggery manufacturing factory in a village. After doing an ultrasound, they referred these patients to various abortion centres. When we come across issues like female infanticide, we inspect the place and on finding evidence, we report to the police. However, the issue is still a matter of concern. We wouldnt want Mandya to be known as the centre for female infanticide. The practice exists even now, when parents want their first child to be a son or dont want a second girl child.
Karnataka educationists demand halt to school mergers; urge CM to review policy and fill vacancies
BENGALURU: Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and Jagruta Nagarikaru Karnataka Vedike organised a round table meeting of educationists, activists and retired professors on Saturday, to discuss recent decisions taken by the Department of School Education and Literacy. They announced the formation of a separate committee and submitted certain recommendations to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Shripadh Bhat, educationist, explained, One of our recommendations includes changing Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa. MLAs with deep insight and commitment to the public education system should be appointed ministers. The recommendations of the State Education Policy (SEP) formulated by the Karnataka State Education Policy Commission should be made public and reviewed. Steps should be taken to fill all vacant posts, from pre-primary to pre-university education, as soon as possible. No new order should be issued regarding education policies until the SEP is implemented. No schools should be merged with Karnataka Public Schools etc. Meanwhile, Dr Niranjanaradhya, education expert, said, Karnataka is in 7th position in India in terms of shutting down schools. The state has closed 6.46 per cent of government schools during various party regimes. If the government closes more than 25,600 schools, it will touch 52 per cent. He highlighted some shocking figures on the status of schools. In 2010-11, there were 45,677 elementary schools in Karnataka. Now, there are 41,905 elementary schools. Enrolment rate of children in government schools in 2010-11 was 54.5 lakh, but has reduced to 23 lakh. However, the enrolment rate of children in private schools was 28.76lakh in 2010-11, which has now increased to 48.47lakh. Education is a political issue now. They have violated Article 21A by shutting down schools within one kilometre range in every village, depriving children of their Right to Education, Niranjanaradhya stated. Last week, TNIE reported that 19 government schools of various taluks of Chikkaballapur would be merged into one KPS, and seven schools in Channapatna would be merged to start another KPS. The documents also stated that TCs must be given to students, and benches, desks and other properties moved to the new school. Teachers will be also deputed to the new KPS.

BENGALURU: Within 54 hours of the brazen cash robbery, three accused were identified and detained, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said here on Saturday. While Rs 5.76crore was recovered within 60 hours from the outskirts of the city, a bag containing Rs 53lakh was also seized from Hyderabad, Singh told a press conference. By the end of the first 24 hours, the accused persons and vehicles used in the heist had been identified through specific leads. One vehicle used in the crime was seized. As many as 200 police personnel, including 17 police inspectors, seven from the Central Crime Branch (CCB) and two Assistant Commissioners of Police, were part of the operation. Deputy Commissioners of Police, along with Joint Commissioners, supervised the entire investigation. Technical and field leads were pursued across Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Some teams also extended their search up to Goa, and more than 30 people have been questioned so far. CCTV footage, call detail records, vehicle movement patterns and local intelligence inputs were analysed continuously, the Commissioner added. DCP-South Lokesh B Jagalasar said three other accused in connection with the robbery were detained in Hyderabad. A bag of cash containing Rs 53 lakh was seized from them. Security lapses by CMS The probe into the Rs 7.11crore heist revealed that the Cash Management Services (CMS) firm had failed to follow key safety measures, and violated RBI guidelines. A senior police officer said that as per guidelines, cash-carrying vehicles should not use the same route or time repeatedly. Employees must be trained in cash handling, undergo proper background verification, and police should be informed if any custodial company employee is terminated. The GPS tracking system in the vehicle was also not functioning. There were lapses in staff deployment and security training, the officer added. Commissioner Singh told reporters, We have prepared a report on the violations committed by the company and will submit it to the authorities concerned. Daylight dacoit On November 19, a CMS Cash-In-Transit vehicle carrying Rs 7.11 crore was robbed. The gang, posing as RBI officers, claimed they wanted to inspect the vehicle. All four staffers inside the vehicle, except the driver, were asked to get down. They threatened the driver with a pistol, unloaded the cash boxes and stole the Digital Video Recorder. A case was registered at Siddapura police station.
Father, friend booked under POCSO for rape of minor girl in Karnataka's Koppal district
KOPPAL: A minor girl in Koppal district has accused her own father of facilitating her repeated sexual assault by his friend. A case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered, and both accused are currently absconding. The incident, which occurred in December of last year, came to light only recently after the survivor attempted to take her own life. According to the police complaint, the girl's mother saved her and, upon inquiry, learned the horrific truth. The survivor from Gangavathi stated in her complaint that her father, an alcoholic, forcibly took her to his friend's house in Gundamma Camp on December 8, 2023. She was held there until December 13. The complaint alleges that on the night of December 11, the father's friend raped her. When the girl mustered the courage to tell her father the next day, he not only dismissed her trauma but allegedly offered to arrange a marriage with the perpetrator. He further threatened to kill her mother if she disclosed the assault to anyone. I had no other choice but to keep quiet, the girl stated in her complaint. The situation became unbearable, leading to her suicide attempt two days ago. Following her mother's advice, she filed a formal complaint at the Gangavathi police station. Police have confirmed that a POCSO case has been registered and an investigation is underway to locate and apprehend the two accused.
MYSURU: Inspired by Divine Star Rishab Shettys Kannada movie Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shaale, Kasargod , enthusiastic members of Ananya, a Mysuru-based voluntary organisation, have launched a unique mission of beautifying government schools in the tribal areas of HD Kote and Hunsur taluks in Mysuru district. Members of Ananya are also volunteers of the National Service Scheme (NSS) of JSS College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Mysuru. Led by NSS officer N Santhosh Kumar, they launched the mission after watching the movie that hit the screens in 2018. They have painted and decorated several government schools in the remote tribal hamlets. Leveraging his position as an NSS officer, Santhosh formed Ananya and got its members trained by renowned terracotta artist Swamy. Ananya launched its first project at Kuthavadi B Haadi in Hunsur taluk. It gave a facelift to the government school there, which was in a bad shape. The project was funded solely by members of Ananya. After the success of this project, Ananya decided to adopt government schools in tribal hamlets. Apart from painting and decorating the schools, it started providing them notebooks, textbooks, computers, printers and smart TVs. Members of Ananya also planted fruit-bearing saplings on the premises of government schools. Ananya organises cleanliness drives, conducts computer training, spoken English and yoga classes for tribal children, and distributes sanitary pads to girl students. These efforts of Ananya have not only helped in improving infrastructure in government schools, but also the student enrolment rate. The organisation has developed government schools at Kuthavadi, Devagahalli, Basavanahalli, Asavalu, Kudineeru Muddanahalli, Hosapura, Sanjeeva Nagara, Devalapura and Ambedkar Nagara in Hunsur taluk, Manti Haadi, Padukote Haadi, and Chamanahalli Hundi in HD Kote taluk, and Santhe Kesalagere in Mandya taluk. Santhosh told TNSE that Ananya selects two or three schools at a time for development. Gaddige Temple is our base. We chose schools close to the temple. The temple administration supports us with food and accommodation. We approach philanthropists for funds as painting a small school costs around Rs 40,000. Maja Talkies creative director Tejaswi supports us financially, he said. This year, Ananya completed work on schools at Asavalu, Hosapura, Kudineeru Muddanahalli and Manti Haadi. The government school at Singanamarahalli in Hunsur taluk, which houses primary and high school sections, will be given a facelift in December or January, Santhosh said. Around 50 volunteers work in batches of 10 to 15 members during weekends or holidays. Working in such schools is a major challenge as they are either on the fringes of the forests or inside them. We lived in Manti Haadi for five days without proper electricity and drinking water. We could charge our phones only for two hours a day and had to depend on a borewell for water. We were scared of wild animals, but tribal people lived with us in the school and ensured our safety, he said. Santhoshs initiative has received appreciation from several non-governmental agencies, well-known personalities, including actor and director Rishab Shetty.
VIJAYAPURA: For Deputy Superintendent of Police Basavaraj Yeligar, every spare minute is an opportunity to immerse himself in the world of Vachanas, the 12th-century poetic compositions that form the foundation of the Lingayat spiritual tradition. Whether travelling from his Solapur Road office to the Deputy Commissioners office or attending meetings at the Zilla Panchayat, Yeligar uses his short commute time to continue his translation work. What may seem like a rushed 10-minute drive to others becomes a brief yet valuable window for him to engage in what he truly loves: bringing the wisdom of Basaveshwara and other saints to readers through English translations. Finding time during duty hours is difficult. So, whenever I am travelling or waiting, I try to use that time productively. Translating Vachanas gives me immense joy, he says. At 54, Yeligar has already earned recognition beyond his policing career. His recently released book, My Me is Thee , which contains English translations of 959 Vachanas of Basaveshwara, has gone into print three times, with nearly 3,000 copies already in circulation. Born in Naragund in Gadag district, Yeligar completed his primary schooling in his hometown before moving to Mudhol in Bagalkot district for his SSLC. He later pursued a Bachelors degree in Arts from Dharwad. He started his career as a First Division Clerk at the Agriculture College in Dharwad. After clearing the PSI exam, he joined the police force. Today, he serves as the DSP of Vijayapura. Yeligar traces his writing skills to his childhood. His father used to ask Basavaraj to help him with drafting land records or financial transaction documents for villagers. I was developing writing habits from my school days. It later played a major role in shaping my literary work, he recalls. His family used to visit the Allamaprabhu Mutt in Naragund. The Mutt served as a centre for the study of Vachanas, secular principles, and harmony among communities. The Mutt played a crucial role in shaping my affinity toward Vachanas and nurturing my secular outlook. Many rituals were performed by Muslims, and people of different communities came together, he says. Yeligar tried translating the couplets of Shishunal Sharif, a revered saint-poet of North Karnataka, while serving at Chikodi in Belagavi district. He later translated a general non-fiction work titled, Deluge of Drought Who is Responsible? , which explored Karnatakas recurring cycles of droughts and floods. In 2021, Yeligar began translating the Vachanas of Basaveshwara into English. It took him nearly four years to complete the 808-page volume. He had previously read several English translations of Vachanas, but felt something lacking in them. I never felt satisfied with the translations I read. They did not capture the sacredness and philosophical richness of Basavannas words. I wanted to fill that gap, he says. Understanding old Kannada was no easy task, as Vachanas often contain layers of symbolism, analogy, and philosophical depth. To achieve accuracy, Yeligar consulted several seers, scholars, and experts in historical Kannada literature. He also studied books by the late scholar M M Kalburgi and other eminent researchers. Yeligar has now undertaken the translation of Vachanas written by the saint-poet Akkamahadevi. He has selected around 450 Vachanas, of which he has already translated about 250. He plans to complete it by March next year and release the book at Uutadi village in Shivamogga district, the birthplace of Akkamahadevi. He is also translating an Islamic book from English to Kannada. The book, titled Would You Like to Know Something About Islam , written by Mohammed Ahmed, was given to him by Islamic cleric Sayed Tanveer Hashmi. This is the first time I am translating a book from English to Kannada. I hope to complete it within a month, he says. Yeligar says spirituality is essential for a stress-free life. His deep connection to spiritual thought, especially through Vachanas, has helped him navigate the challenges of policing. Spirituality brings peace, clarity, and emotional balance. In my personal and professional life, it has helped me immensely, he says.

Nitish Rana To Captain Delhi In 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, No Place For Digvesh Rathi
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Nitish Rana has been named as Delhis captain for the 2025-26 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, while wrist-spinner Digvesh Rathi has missed out on selection for the competition slated to begin on November 26. Delhi have been placed in Elite Group D alongside Jharkhand, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Saurashtra, and Tripura, with all of their matches scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad. The team has won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once - in the 201718 season under the captaincy of Pradeep Sangwan. This will be the first time Rana will turn out for Delhi in the ongoing domestic season after moving on from Uttar Pradesh and not featuring in the playing eleven for the first half of the Ranji Trophy, where the side was unable to win any matches. Rana, who will also turn out for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 following his trade from Rajasthan Royals, hit scores of 134 not out, 45 not out, and 79 not out to help West Delhi Lions win the 2025 Delhi Premier League (DPL) title. Incidentally, during Qualifier 1 of DPL 2025, Rana was in an exchange of words with Rathi, which went viral online. Rathi had been one of the uncapped finds for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 picking 14 wickets at an economy rate of 7.59. But it seems that a not so bright DPL 2025 resulted in his omission from Delhis squad picked by the selection committee of Yashpal Singh, K. Bhaskar Pillai and Manu Nayar, with head coach Sarandeep Singh, CAC Chairman Vijay Dahiya and DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma being present in the meeting. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharmas selection is subject to availability, with sources telling IANS that hes recovering from an injury and was present for rehab at the BCCI CoE facility in Bengaluru. Its the same case with senior fast bowler Navdeep Saini, who is also dealing with an injury issue that limited his participation in the Ranji Trophy. While all-rounder Harshit Rana is also subject to availability, it's more to do with him being in fray for selection in Indias upcoming white-ball games three ODIs and five T20Is - against South Africa. Opener Priyansh Arya and leg-spinner Suyash Sharma will join the Delhi side after India A's campaign in the Rising Asia Cup in Doha ended in a lame semi-final defeat to Bangladesh A.
