Mangalore, September 1: With Dakshina Kannada district slumping to 21st place in SSLC examination this year, the authorities in the district have come up with 18 point formula to improve the SSLC results.

In fact, the district was in 8th position in the results in 2010. All the schools which have secured below 60 per cent results in SSLC were issued notices and feed back was collected from such schools. Details were collected from all the managing boards of all the private and unaided schools for poor performance, said DDPI Moses Jayashekar.

The action plan prepared for improving the results should be implemented effectively, he said. All the previous SSLC examination question papers will be provided to the schools at the block level. A workshop for the head teachers of those schools which had secured below 60 per cent results and the teachers in whose subject the students performed poorely, was organised at the district-level.

In the workshop, Subject inspectors and DDPI gave the guidance to the teachers. All those schools which had received less than 60 per cent will be adopted by all the officials at the district-level and taluk level implementation officers. In fact, the Government College of Teachers Education will provide refresher courses to those teachers in whose subject, there was poor performance.

The head teachers of the school will confirm whether teachers carry out the classes as per the time table and send a report to the block and district-level officers. Identifying the learning disability in each child after every monthly examination and discussing the same with the parents and members of SDMC at a meeting.

The teachers have been asked to give special empahsis to such children in imporving their performance. All the teachers in the district should prepare model question papers in their subject and discuss it in length. The prepared question papers along with the answer key will be selected at the block level.

A block level workshop on preparation of question papers and the answer keys will be held. The prepared question papers at the block level will be collected and printed through High SChool Teachers Association and distributed among all the schools for revision.

The students will be compulsorily made to go for copy writing in the form of letter writing, essay writing, drawing, writing poems and tables. A book will be given to each student to write the unit tests. This will help the teachers and the parents to know the learning problem in the child.

A question bank along with the answer key will be prepared at the school level and distributed among the students. Unit tests/mid term test/and preparatory examinations must be conducted at the school level and the details should be sent to the subject inspectprs, DDPI office in Mangalore.

Former minister and ex-MLC C M Ibrahim claimed that he still heads the original JD(S) and asked former prime minister and party supremo H D Deve Gowda to cut ties with the BJP, so that the party can be strengthened again. He also said options are being explored to either strengthen the JD(S) or to float a new regional party.

He was speaking to media persons, in Mysuru, on Monday, after meeting JD(S) MLA and former minister G T Deve Gowda, who has expressed his displeasure that he has been sidelined in the party and the party leaders have indicated his retirement from politics.

He stated, “If Deve Gowda had joined the Congress, during the last Assembly election, he would have been a minister now. We retained him in the JD(S), to strengthen the party. Now, efforts are being made to strangulate Deve Gowda’s political career. I have discussed all matters with Deve Gowda. In two days, I will start a Karnataka state tour and meet some leaders. After that, I will meet Deve Gowda again, and then decide on the further course of action.”

Ibrahim said, “The original JD(S) is ours. I am still its state president. All documents and accounts are in our name. Even now, if Deve Gowda leaves BJP’s company and returns, we will build the JD(S) again”.

“Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy should mend his ways and stop making JD(S) into a family-owned company. The JD(S)’s situation has become hopeless. Its love for the BJP is over. He should understand this,” he said.

“When I was with Kumaraswamy, he spent just Rs 4 crore in Channapatna and won by 20,000 votes. Now, without me, he spent Rs 150 crore and still lost by 25,000 votes. Without Muslims’ support, the JD(S) cannot win a single seat. Now, it is proved that 19 MLAs of the JD(S) won in 2023, because of Muslims,” he added.

Speaking on other options available, Ibrahim said, “We have not yet decided to go with the Congress. We are only considering to establish a third front. Whether it is founding a new regional party, forming a third front, or strengthening the JD(S), will be decided shortly.”

Earlier during the day, before meeting Deve Gowda, Ibrahim had said, that 12 to 13 JD(S) MLAs were dissatisfied with the party, but like Deve Gowda, were enduring pain.

“Now, I have started the task of uniting them. I as the JD(S) state president, it is my responsibility to address our MLAs’ grievances. At present, the JD(S) is on fire and all JD(S) MLAs want to protect their respective constituency. Hence, they have started speaking one by one,” he said.

Bengaluru: Amidst the ongoing Waqf controversy in the state, a Vokkaliga seer has sparked controversy by suggesting the disenfranchisement of Muslims, claiming it would end vote bank politics in India.

The provocative remarks were made by Kumara Chandrashekaranatha Swami during a protest organized by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, a farmers’ organization with links to the RSS. The protest focused on farmers' lands being marked as Waqf properties.

"Politicians are exploiting this issue for votes. Muslims should be deprived of voting rights. This step is necessary to eliminate vote bank politics and allow India to prosper," the seer stated. He is the head of the Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamsthana Mutt, which was founded with support from JD(S) leader and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.

The seer also made misleading claims about Pakistan, stating, “In Pakistan, minorities don’t have the right to vote. If we implement the same in India, Muslims would be isolated, and peace would prevail.” However, minorities in Pakistan have voting rights. 

Chandrashekaranatha Swami continued his criticism of the Waqf Board, accusing it of unlawfully seizing properties. “It is unjust to take someone’s property. We must ensure that the Waqf Board is abolished,” he said. He further emphasized the need for farmers' land to remain protected, even at the cost of political fallout.

Minister Condemns Remarks

Minister for Social Welfare, H.C. Mahadevappa, swiftly condemned the seer’s comments, stating, “After years of struggle, Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar established the principle of ‘one vote, one value.’ It is crucial for Dalits, backward communities, and minorities to understand its significance.”

He continued, "Those who spread hatred for political gain under the guise of religion must end their harmful rhetoric."

Earlier, Kumara Chandrashekaranatha Swami had stirred controversy by suggesting that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah step down to allow Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to assume the role of Chief Minister for the remainder of the term. The statement created a fresh political debate, raising questions about the power dynamics in Karnataka's ruling party.

The seer remarked, “Everyone has had the opportunity to hold the Chief Minister’s position, except D.K. Shivakumar. I request our experienced Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to vacate the post and bless Shivakumar with the opportunity.”
