Udupi: Dist team brings four migrant children to schools

July 9, 2013

Manipal, Jul 9: A team headed by Udupi Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer S Prabhakar Sharma visited various places in the city and identified four children of migrant workers and enrolled them to schools on Monday. While three remained out of the portals of schools, one was a drop out.

The operation was continued even on Tuesday.

The operation which was started due to the sheer interest of the CEO last year has been continued even this year. The team accompanied by Labour department officials, Women and Child Welfare department officials and Education Department officials visited places like Nittoor and Beedinagudde areas, which have large population of migrant labourers dwelling and found children who have remained outside the portals of schools.

Sankamma (8) from Bagalkot was found by the team at Nittoor. She was enrolled to Hanmanthnagar school. Sankamma had lost her parents and hence had been living with her maternal aunt. The girl was given with shoes, uniform and bags from the Education Department to attend the school.

At Beedinagudde Reshma (7), Vittal (6) and Yellappa (11) have been enrolled to the school. Vittal and Yellappa have been enrolled to Volakadu Government School and Reshma has been admitted to first standard in Mahatma Gandhi School near City Municipal Council. Yellappa is a school dropout.

JD(S) leader G T Devegowda backs CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA row, taunts HDK

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”
