Guarantees wont stop at any cost, says HM Revanna

UDUPI: State president of the Guarantee Implementation Committee HM Revanna here on Tuesday said the five guarantee schemes will not stop at any cost. For a state like Karnataka, which has a budget of Rs 4 lakh crore, reserving Rs 52,000 crore for five guarantee schemes is not a big deal, he said. After a progress review meeting in Udupi, he said that all rumours about the flagship schemes being stopped are false. The guarantee schemes will continue as other states are seeing it as a Karnataka model, he said. During the progress review meeting in Udupi with various department officials connected to implementing the five guarantees, he directed the officials to work hard to implement the schemes successfully. He said for the Gruhalakshmi scheme, Rs 648.52 crore was spent in Udupi district so far benefiting 2.24 lakh women. Rs 80.45 crore was spent under the Shakthi scheme that benefitted 2.16 crore women passengers in Udupi district. For the Gruha Jyothi scheme, Rs 342.16 crore has been spent benefitting 3.39 lakh people in the district. From Anna Bhagya and Yuva Nidhi schemes, several people benefited, he said presenting the figures. He said Congress governments have been implementing pro-people programmes and welfare schemes, while BJP fanned only communal rigidities. During the previous government led by BJP in the state, people suffered from economic difficulties. But Congress helped the people through the five guarantee schemes and empowered women too, he said. On complaints of some women not getting the Gruha Lakshmi scheme amount in their bank accounts, he said there is no need to worry. The amount for three months that is due from November, 2024 till January 2025 will be credited within four to five days as it was already released yesterday he said.

Karnataka High Court lays down steps for name change

BENGALURU: Taking note of the hardship faced by parents or children seeking name change, the High Court of Karnataka has formulated a procedure for it in birth certificates till amendments are made to the Registration of Births and Deaths Act or the Rules. Justice NS Sanjay Gowda passed this order while allowing a petition by two-year-old Adhrith Bhat, represented by his mother Deepika Bhat, from Ambalpady in Udupi, questioning the endorsement of November 4, 2023, issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths in Udupi City Municipal Council, refusing to change his name as Shrijith Bhat in the birth certificate. The court said that in fact, the Law Commission of Karnataka, in its 24th report regarding change of name submitted on July 20, 2013, favoured amendments to the Act and the Rules. However, the legislature has not taken the matter further. The legislature should ensure that people seeking name change are not put to any hardship and evolve a procedure to change their records accordingly.

Udupi Celebrates Choornotsava with Grandeur at Shri Krishna Math

Udupi: The temple town of Udupi was filled with devotion and festive energy as thousands of devotees gathered to celebrate Suvarnotsava or Choornotsava, the annual daytime Brahmarathotsava at the historic Shri Krishna Math. The event marked the culmination of the Saptotsava festival and was held in the Rathabeedi (car street) of Udupi, drawing devotees from across regions. This sacred tradition, tracing its origins to the 13th century during the time of philosopher Shri Madhvacharya, commemorates his consecration of Lord Krishna's idol in Udupi. Choornotsava, observed the day after Makara Sankranti, serves as a daytime counterpart to the nighttime celebrations of the earlier days. This year, the grand Rathotsava was led by Shri Sugunendra Teertha Swamiji and Shri Sushreendra Teertha Swamiji of the Paryaya Puthige Math. Amidst chants and hymns, the idols of Shri Krishna and Shri Mukhyaprana (Hanuman) were ceremoniously placed in a golden palanquin and carried to the Brahmaratha. As the ornately decorated chariot rolled through the streets, devotees showered flowers, fruits, and coins as prasada, filling Rathabeedi with a sense of joy and devotion. The vibrant scene of worshippers catching the offerings underscored the spiritual fervor and unity of the occasion. The celebrations continued at the Vasanta Mantapa within Shri Krishna Math, where special poojas were conducted. The event concluded with the Avabhruta Snana (holy bath) at the sacred Madhwa Sarovara, a ritual symbolizing purification. In the afternoon, the Krishna Math hosted a grand annaprasada, where thousands of devotees were served a traditional meal following a unique ritual called Palla Pooja, offering prayers to a heap of rice. The communal meal added to the sense of togetherness and gratitude, rounding off the Choornotsava festivities on a harmonious note.

Dakshina Kannada and Udupi See Lowest Communal Incidents in 14 Years

Mangaluru: The coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, often marred by communal tensions, have reported a significant decline in such incidents, recording the lowest numbers in 14 years. A report by Suresh Bhat B., an activist with the Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) in Mangaluru, reveals that only 50 communal incidents were recorded in 2024, a sharp drop from 84 cases in 2023. The figure is a stark contrast to 2015, which saw a record 228 incidents. The report, based on local media coverage, categorizes incidents into moral policing, allegations of religious conversions, cattle vigilantism, hate speech, and other communal activities. It acknowledges the possibility of unreported cases but excludes incidents where the perpetrators' identities remain unknown. In 2024, the report documented: Moral policing: 22 cases by Hindu vigilantes, 1 by Muslim vigilantes Religious conversions: 2 cases Cattle vigilantism: 2 cases Hate speech: 27 instances Other communal activities: 5 cases Bhat attributes this decline to proactive measures by the state government and law enforcement. The anti-communal wing within the police department, established recently, has played a critical role by actively filing cases against perpetrators. The police and the current state government have demonstrated a stronger commitment to addressing communal issues, which has set a positive precedent, said Bhat. MG Hegde, spokesperson for the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), highlighted a shift in youth perception. Young people, both Hindus and Muslims, are now aware of being exploited by political leaders for their agendas. Theyve begun to distance themselves from such activities, he observed. Hegde also credited the governments welfare schemes for improving economic stability among families, which has indirectly curbed communal incidents. Mothers, previously indifferent to their childrens involvement in such acts, are now more focused on the tangible benefits from these schemes, he added. Decline in Communal Incidents Over the Years: 2010: 73 2011: 87 2012: 132 2013: 111 2014: 173 2015: 228 2016: 104 2017: 125 2018: 85 2019: 60 2020: 110 2021: 120 2022: 174 2023: 84 2024: 50 The significant reduction reflects a positive shift in communal harmony within these districts, with governance and public awareness playing pivotal roles.

CM Siddaramaiah Assures Legal Support for Surrendered Naxals

Bengaluru: In an appeal to Naxals to surrender before the State Government and rejoin mainstream society, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said his Government is willing to engage in dialogue with Naxals to make them rejoin the mainstream of the society and assured the Naxals that State Government will simplify Naxal surrender policy. The assurance from the Chief Minister to simplify Naxal surrender policy came after some progressive and public-spirited leaders met him in Bengaluru urging the Chief Minister on making Naxals rejoin the mainstream of the society. However, the Chief Minister issued a warning to Naxals that anyone engaging in violent or unlawful activities will face strict legal action from the State Government. Our government is determined to encourage all Naxals in Karnataka to surrender completely and reintegrate into the mainstream of the society, said Siddaramaiah. It may be recalled here that Vikram Gowda was killed by personnel of Anti Naxal Force in Udupi on November 18 this year while his associates such as Mudagru Latha among others are at large. In a statement here, Siddaramaiah pointed out to the surrender policy for Naxals in Karnataka wherein surrendered Naxals get financial phases, imparted skill training and comprehensive rehabilitation measures. He assured the Naxals willing to surrender to initiate steps expedite the resolution of cases against surrendered Naxals and ensure they receive necessary legal support. Adding, he said, efforts are underway from the State Government to identify and address the needs of those who have already surrendered and ensure their successful rehabilitation. Siddaramaiah said in a democratic set-up, idealists who attempt to bring change in the society through armed struggle not only risk their own lives but also endanger the lives of others. Nevertheless, he said, Karnataka reported sporadic Naxal activities especially in Malnad regions of the State over the past two decades resulting in violence and loss of lives including civilians, police personnel and those involved in Naxal activities.
