Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy chairing the academic council meeting in Mangalore on Thursday.With this a candidate who has appeared for PG examination conducted by Mangalore University may apply through the Institution/Head of the Department for challenge valuation on payment of the prescribed fee, within 20 days after the publication of the result or 10 days from the date of dispatch of the marks cards by the Registrar (Evaluation) to the Institution/HoD, or within seven days from the date of communication of the result of re-totaling whichever is later.

 

Addressing the meeting, Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy said that if there is a difference between marks awarded initially and on Challenge Valuation, the final marks shall be the average of the two awards.

 

In case the difference between the initial award and the final award is more than 10 per cent and is to the advantage of the candidate, then 50 per cent of the fee paid for the challenge valuation shall be refunded to the candidate. Grace marks shall not be taken into consideration for eligibility for refund of the challenge evaluation fee.

 

“Challenge valuation is permitted for all theory papers only. Answer scripts will be evaluated by a suitable external examiner selected from the panel of examiners approved by the Vice-Chancellor. However, such examiners should not have been valuers for that paper during the examination. The answer scripts for Challenge Valuation can also be sent to examiners or other universities, said VC.

 

12th Five Year Plan

 

The UGC had asked the University to submit the 12th Five Year Plan proposal after getting it duly approved by all the statutory bodies of the University.

 

Since the actual allocation of resources for the 12th Five Year Plan is yet to be finalised by the Government of India, the Universities have been requested to develop two parallel scenarios priority-wise, one with a hike of three times and another with a hike of five times of the 11th Five Year Plan allocation to University under both development of merged schemes.

 

Accordingly a committee was formed under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor to draft the 12th plan proposals and a document titled “ Inclusive and Qualitative Expansion of Higher Education” is prepared.

 

The proposals are presented in two scenarios and are further classified under Capital Head, General Head and Salary Head.

 

Under scenario I the University has proposed Rs 40.5 crores as the required fund.

 

In scenario II Rs 65.80 crores has been proposed as the required fund.

 

Committee for PG course

 

As a college has requested the University to grant permission to start Post Graduate course in Bharathanatyam and Karnatak Music, a committee was formed to frame guidelines of the course and syllabus under the Presidentiship of Sarsa College of Fine Arts and Science Principal Dr Arati Shetty, said Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankara Murthy.

 

The regulations governing the choice based credit system (CBCS) for the two years (four semesters) Masters Degree Programmes in Bharathanatyam and Karnatak Music was presented before the academic council.

Mangaluru, Sept 24: A blanket of gloom descended over Dakshina Kannada and Udupi as heavy rains battered the coastal Karnataka districts on Tuesday. Substantial rainfall has been drenching the region since Monday, intensifying as the day progressed.

In Dakshina Kannada, torrential downpours began early Tuesday, followed by overcast skies and humid conditions. 

The showers persisted intermittently through the afternoon, with areas like Beltangady experiencing moderate rainfall, while Puttur and Bellare bore the brunt of heavier storms. 

Overnight showers were reported in Bantwal, and Mangaluru city, along with its surrounding rural areas, witnessed a steady increase in rainfall, peaking by the evening.

After a brief respite, the return of intense rainfall has brought a welcome drop in temperatures. In Udupi, Karkala, Udupi city, Kundapur, and Hebri taluks all faced substantial rains throughout the day, continuing from late Sunday night.

In a grand celebration of patriotism and local pride, Karnataka’s second tallest flagpole, and the tallest in Dakshina Kannada, was officially inaugurated on Wednesday, September 18, at the iconic Kadri Park in Mangaluru.

MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, a distinguished guest at the inauguration, spoke passionately about the symbolic importance of the flag.

"The flagpole at Kadri Park, funded under the Smart City project, will not only serve as a beacon of patriotism but will also become a significant attraction, enhancing the city's tourism appeal."

Adding to the sense of occasion, Mayor Sudhir Shetty proudly highlighted the monument's grandeur. "Standing at an impressive 75 meters, second only to Belagavi's 110-meter flagpole, this new landmark is a testament to Mangaluru's growth and aspirations. The project, which cost Rs 75 lakh, will feature an advanced lighting system, ensuring it shines brightly, day and night, as a symbol of our national pride."

The ceremony saw the attendance of key dignitaries, including Deputy Mayor Sunita, Standing Committee President Bharath Kumar, Varun Chowta, Ganesh Kulal, MCC opposition leader Praveen Chandra Alva, MCC member Shakeela Kava, former Mayor Jayananda Anchan, Bhaskar K, and former MUDA president Ravishankar Mijar, each contributing to the significance of the occasion.

In a significant development, a special court tasked with handling cases against Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MP/MLAs) has ordered that a First Information Report (FIR) be filed regarding the Muda case.

Additionally, the Karnataka Lokayukta, which is an anti-corruption body, has been tasked with investigating allegations against Siddaramaiah, who is reportedly involved in the case.

The court instructed the Lokayukta (an anti-corruption authority) to provide a report within three months. It also ordered the relevant authorities to file a First Information Report (FIR) regarding the case.

Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat issued the directive, compelling the Mysuru Lokayukta police to commence an investigation following a formal complaint lodged by Snehamayi Krishna. 

The Karnataka Lokayukta in Mysuru is required to carry out the investigation under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, which mandates the registration of a First Information Report (FIR).
