Frustrated students revolt against coaching class

June 22, 2012

Mangalore, June 22: Disgruntled by poor facilities at a coaching class, many students staged a protest on Thursday demanding the fulfillment of promises given by the administration during the time of admission.

The students of Brilliant Coaching Class, which was functioning at an under construction building of Karavali Group of Institutions at Neermarga took on the management for not taking classes and not proving facilities promised by the Coaching Class management during admissions.

The students complained that when they took the matter up with the management of the coaching class on Wednesday, they suggested the students to leave the city and go back to their native places as there are possibilities of communal riots erupting in the city on Thursday.

“While some students had packed and left for their native place, many of us sensed that the management was probably planning to run away with our money. We stayed back and met Karavali College management. But the College said that they have nothing to do in this issue,” said a student on conditions of anonymity.

The Coaching centre had collected Rs 7,000 per student and had promised to give food and accommodation. The students complained that stale and spoilt food items were being served to them and even rooms provided to them were shabby.

This made them to fight for their right.

However, over the course of protest on Thursday, one of the drivers of Karavali group of Institutions was reportedly assaulted by the students when the driver tried to be violent with the students.

However, Kankanady rural police, the ASI denied any fight in the College premises. He said the misunderstanding between the College administration and the students were solved amicably and no case was filed in this regard.

Block, district presidents in Karnataka will be changed soon: KPCC working president

September 14,2024

Mangaluru: The block level and District Congress Committee presidents in the state will be changed in the next one month for better reach into society and bring in organisational fortification, said Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president G C Chandrasheker on Saturday.

The All India Congress Committee and KPCC have a vision for bringing a change in how the party works with the last man and woman in the state, he said at a press conference here.

"We are looking at bringing development models into the state with a new vision. We are a party that likes to work with the opposition in the developmental aspects and keep all other matters away that do not relate to the development of the state.

"We have a great respect for the people of the coast who are considered to be forward-looking and perceptible, but it is also true that we do not have the numbers in the upper house and in the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)," he said.

"Our endeavour is to not only create a strong pro-development workforce at the base level by strengthening the second and third level leadership in the state," he said.

Chandrasheker, who is also a Rajya Sabha member, said that he and his four colleagues of the rank of working presidents of the KPCC are going to every district to infuse the new thinking in our workers and leaders.

"This move will get a new surge considering the party is facing byelections in Shiggaon, Chennapatna and Sandhur segments and also vacant seats in the legislative council, followed by elections to the Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats" he said.

When asked about the reason for the changes, Chandrashekar said most of the people have already lived their tenures. The party wants to reward those who have not been given tickets to contest in the 2023 state assembly elections and 2024 Lok Sabha elections for political reasons.

There are quite good leaders and hard-working ground level workers who have great potential to lead the party in the coming years, he said.

"Women will get at least one top post in all District Congress Committees and block levels. There is also a move to give responsible positions for the workers and leaders coming from different strata of society, which are deliverable. The party will not shy away from it," he said.

The other two working presidents, Dr Manjunath Bhandary and Vasanth Kumar, were also present at the press conference.

Kumar said some of the regions in the state are dominated by the BJP. "We want to end this run and defeat the divisive models of the BJP." Bhandary said the Indian National Congress was aiming at a high development phase in the state and involve the opposition parties and their leaders in the development plans in the state.
