Mangalore, July 24: A two-day convention of indigenous communities in the State, which concluded here on Monday, provided a platform to highlight the sorry state of residential schools for tribal children in the State.


The meet organized under the banner of Karnataka Rajya Moola Budakattu Samudayagala Samavesha discussed the problems faced by the residential schools in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Madikeri, Mysore and Hassan districts.


Manoj, a Koraga community member, pointed out that the students of one such school in Angadi Halli in Mysore were made to use the same glass in the toilet as well as for drinking purpose. Besides, the toilets did not have mugs and only two buckets of water was available for four toilets.


It was also pointed out that the teachers start classes only after September and the first three months of the academic year goes waste every year.


Hoovuraj from Hassan, speaking at the meet, said that the social welfare department officials only visit residential schools to monitor food and lamented that the children are sent to school to get quality education and not just food.


Gauri, Koraga community member from Kundapur, said that since the school was situated near a public school in town, very few students enrolled and the effort of the government has become a complete waste. Hunsur resident Raju, Hasalur community member Ramamurthy from Shimoga also poured out their woes.


Rajendra, a Soliga community member said that the addition of the Valmiki Nayaka community under the tribals list was a major problem to the other 12 tribal communities. He said the Valmiki Nayaka community fared better compared to other tribals in education and economic status.


Meanhwile, the convention decided to celebrate Adivasi Day on August 9 and the government will be urged to improve the status of education, healthcare and solve the land rights issues of the tribals of the State, said a participant.

NRI professionals hailing from the coastal and Malnad regions of Karnataka, now based in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia, have been urging the Indian government and airlines to introduce a direct flight between Mangalore International Airport (MIA) and Singapore’s Changi Airport.

These professionals argue that Singapore’s strategic location as a hub connecting India with East Asia makes this flight essential. They highlight that this route would serve over 12 million people from the coastal and hill regions of southern India, fostering stronger ties with East Asian economies.

The group, consisting of individuals from Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, Shivamogga, and Hassan, is spearheaded by Rajesh H Acharya, director of HQ Connections Pte Ltd, Singapore, and coordinator of the Singapore Tuluver community. Acharya emphasized the significance of the Indian government’s Act East policy, which aims to strengthen relationships between India and ASEAN, East Asia, and the Asia-Pacific region.

“This flight will open new doors for cultural, trade, tourism, and technological exchanges between these regions,” Acharya said.

The Mangalore Chapter of IndUS Entrepreneurs (TiE) has also proposed positioning the region as the 'Silicon Beach of India.' A direct flight would provide greater opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors from both Singapore and Mangaluru, boosting business exchanges.

Moreover, Singapore’s Changi Airport could see increased tourism from the Karnataka coast, while Coastal Karnataka would benefit from a surge in visitors from ASEAN countries, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and the US West Coast.

While a similar attempt in 2017 did not succeed, Acharya and his team are hopeful that this time their appeal will be taken seriously, tapping into the immense growth potential of the eastern half of the globe.
