Bring in policies to rehabilitate NRI Kannadigas who are returning after losing jobs: CM urged
SDPI state secretary and social activist Riyaz Farangipet, in a letter, recommended the new CM Kumaraswamy to take necessary steps for the rehabilitation of non-resident Kannadigas, who are returning home with empty hands, after losing their jobs due to the crisis in Gulf countries.
Today, countless Indians are staying in Gulf countries as non-resident Indians to win bread for their families here. These NRIs have given their contribution to this country as long as employment and trading were good in abroad. According to a recent report from World Bank, India is at the top of the list of the countries that saved money in banks from abroad. With this, India's economy is progressing along with the generation of revenue. We need to know the fact that 50 percent of this income comes from the Gulf countries.
A large number of these non-resident Indians are Kannadigas. Kannadigas have always been philanthropists. Among them, the coastal Kannadigas are always on their toes for social service. We have seen a lot of community services, education institutions, hospitals and many social service institutions run by these NRI Kannadigas. Also, they are spending their hard earned money in indigent patients’ treatment, in educational and housing facilities.
However; due to changed conditions in Gulf, Gulf countries’ localised policies and new labor laws; many NRIs have lost their jobs, and a few others are in fear of losing the same. Even the self-employed are not safe from this. About 40 percent of the NRI Kannadigas have already returned to their homelands after losing their jobs. Other 60 percent, who lost their jobs in Gulf countries, are counting days to return to Karnataka.
The non-resident Kannadigas who were giving donations once upon a time, are now in a position to beg. In a letter written to the Chief Minister, Riaz Farangipete has said that HD Kumaraswamy who was taken oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka should consider all such issues and implement a project to provide jobs to the non-resident Kannadigas who have been returning to their motherland and thus bring back the happiness among unemployed non-resident Kannadigas. You have become a Kalpavruksha for farmers and now, you should become oasys for unemployed non-resident Kannadigas, he said in the letter.

Prasidh, Kuldeep limit South Africa to 270 after De Kock's hundred
Visakhapatnam (PTI): India fought back gallantly through Prasidh Krishna and Kuldeep Yadav after Quinton de Kock struck his 23rd hundred, keeping South Africa to a manageable 270 in the third and series-deciding final ODI, here Saturday.
India won the toss after judging the spin of the coin incorrectly 20 times in a row. They had little hesitation in inserting the Proteas into bat, a clear indication of dew factor dominating the thought.
After Arshdeep Singh sent back Ryan Rickelton early, De Kock (106, 89b, 8x4, 6x4) struck his seventh century against India and put on 113 runs off 124 balls with skipper Temba Bavuma (48, 67b) as the visitors moved to a healthy position.
De Kock was severe on Prasidh (4/66), who erred on length continuously in his first spell (2-0-27-0). The left-hander biffed the pacer for 6, 6, 4 in his second over to milk 18 runs.
The 32-year-old quickly pounced on anything that was short, and pacers Prasidh and Harshit offered him plenty of feed on his pet areas.
Bavuma was more sedate, and made runs through those typical dabs and jabs, occasionally unfurling a drive of elan.
De Kock moved to fifty in 42 balls, and never let the tempo down reaching his hundred in 79 balls.
India found temporary relief when Ravindra Jadeja induced a false slash from Bavuma to get caught by Virat Kohli at point.
The tourists got another move on through a 54-run partnership between De Kock and Matthew Breetzkle for the third wicket, and at 168 for two in 28 overs they were in a good position to press on.
But Breetzke's punishment of part-time spinner Tilak Varma forced a rethink in the Indian camp, as skipper KL Rahul brought back Prasidh for a second spell.
What a masterstroke it turned out to be! The Karnataka man broke the back of South Africa’s top and middle order in an exceptional second spell (4-0-11-3).
Breetzke was the first man to go, trapped plumb in front with a straight one and four balls later Aiden Markram uppishly chipped a fuller delivery to Kohli at short covers.
Prasidh soon castled De Kock, whose ugly cross-batted swipe failed to connect a full length delivery from the pacer.
All of a sudden, SA found themselves at a shaky 199 for five, losing three wickets in the space of three overs.
Once Prasidh was done away with the top and middle-order, left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep (4/41) took over and mopped up the tail as SA fell short of even a par total on this track.
