FKCCI leads the charge to decentralise digital growth across Karnataka
BENGALURU: In a strong push towards balanced regional development, the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) hosted a session -- Beyond Bangalore - Unlocking the Digital Potential of Tier 2 & Tier 3 Cities -- in the city on Tuesday. The event spotlighted the urgent imperative to expand Karnatakas digital economy beyond the capital and catalyse growth in emerging cities. FKCCI President M G Balakrishna gave a clarion call to IT and digital enterprises to look beyond Bengaluru and harness the untapped potential of cities like Mysuru, Hassan, Shivamogga, Davanagere and Udupi. Citing concerns over Bengalurus urban saturation, he emphasised the advantages offered by Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities including lower costs, abundant talent and improving infrastructure. Its time we ease the pressure on Bengaluru and fuel Karnatakas next wave of growth from the grassroots. Mysuru is a shining example of how digital transformation can succeed outside metro limits, said Balakrishna. FKCCIs IT & BT Committee Chairman H A Kiran echoed this sentiment, stressing the strategic value of the Hub-and-Spoke model introduced by the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM). This model enables Bengaluru to serve as a digital anchor while smaller cities rise as innovation spokes. Its scalable, sustainable and future-ready, he said. Indie Village (Manipal) founder Shreekanth Arimanithaya spoke on rural digital empowerment. Sharing Indie Villages transformation story, he explained how 300-400 professionals in Manipal now deliver world-class digital services from a non-metro location a testament to the power of vision, technology and local talent. KDEM General Manager Sudheer Shankar spotlighted Mysurus success story and extended an open invitation to stakeholders for the Big Tech Show on July 4 at the Infosys Campus there. The Beyond Bangalore initiative is not just a strategy its a movement. Its time we take it forward with collective resolve, he urged.
Ayush Shetty beat pressure all by himself at US Open: Mom
UDUPI: When Ayush Shetty clinched a noteworthy victory at the US Open Super 300 event, there was quiet pride and deep satisfaction in his home in Sanoor, Karkala, in Udupi district. His father, Ramprakash Shetty, a businessman, marked his sons achievement with a temple visit in Kerala, while his mother Shalmili and younger sister Aadhya celebrated with heartfelt joy at home. They recalled the sacrifices and relentless discipline that shaped Ayushs journey. Ayush began playing badminton at the age of eight, following his fathers game in their backyard. In 2013, at just eight years old, he entered his first tournament- a district-level competition in Udupi. Ayush won the title despite never having received formal coaching till then. His mother speaking to TNIE on Tuesday recalled how quickly the journey of Ayush picked up pace. By 2016, he had topped the state rankings in the under 13 and 15 categories, she said. His initial training began at Johns Academy in Karkala, then at Badminton Mangaluru on alternate days. Even when he lost matches, he never let it break him. He would take the pressure, process it quietly and bounce back stronger. That is his strength- his inner drive to keep growing she added. As Ayush continued winning at state-ranking events, the family decided to move to Bengaluru for better exposure. In Bengaluru, Ayush trained under Mohith Kamath at Badyzone, then with Krishna Kumar at iSports for four years. After Class 10, he joined the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy, where he has been training for five years now under top coaches Vimal Kumar and Sagar Chopda. A former student of Prakruti National School, Sanoor, Karkala, Ayush excelled in studies too. Though he began a B.Sc in Sports Science at Reva University, he later took up a job with Kolkata Railways as a catering inspector and is now pursuing B.Com from the University of Mysore through distance education. Ayush has always been calm, focused and determined said Shalmili.
Ex-bureaucrats warn of conflict of interest in environment panel advising Supreme Court
A group of 60 civil servants has written to the Chief Justice of India expressing concerns about a potential conflict of interest in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC)-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC), which advises the Supreme Court on environmental cases. The letter, signed by 60 retired seasoned bureaucrats, pointed out that the CEC does not include an independent expert and is instead composed entirely of government officials, which could influence the outcomes of cases concerning amendments to the Forest Conservation Act (FCA) of 1980. The CEC, which should have five members, is currently made up entirely of former government servants, including retired scientists, rather than including at least one independent expert as required. The letter cast doubt on the integrity of the CEC and stated that a CEC which is comprised of officers who had held the highest positions in the MoEFCC, and were closely involved in policy making, can hardly be expected to give independent advice to the Supreme Court, advice that is different from what they gave while they were in the government. The letter cited a writ petition of 2023 which was filed in the Supreme Court by a group of individuals challenging the Forest Conservation Amendment Act (FCAA), 2023. According to the petition, the Act would promote the decline of forests in India. In hearings in this case so far, the Supreme Court has given four landmark orders, upholding the definition of forests as per the Godavarman order of 1996 and directing that such forests be identified and georeferenced as per the SC orders of 1996 and 2011 (Lafarge case). The case is pending for a final hearing and decision in the Supreme Court, said Prakruti Srivatava, a former bureaucrat and one of the signees of the letter. However, the letter pointed out that the CEC has one member who was then at the helm of the MoEFCC, engaged in the preparation of the FCA bill, and also defended the bill in front of the Joint Parliamentary Committee. We fear that the outcome of this case, as well as those of others filed against the FCAA 2023, may be compromised considering the conflict of interest of the CEC, and the likelihood that the Supreme Court may give weight to the advice of the CEC before taking a final decision in the matter, states the letter. The letter further noted that some members of the CEC, when they were at the helm in the MoEFCC, had notified the use of forest land for controversial compensatory afforestation in exchange for forest land. Additionally, the letter highlighted a recent Supreme Court order on the zudupi forest, a scrub forest supporting wildlife, which was diverted for compensatory afforestation on the advice of the CEC, as a possible manifestation of this concern.
