Padmashree Hajabba’s dream PU college set to begin in Harekala
Mangaluru: Padmashree Harekala Hajabba, the illiterate legendary orange seller who used the earnings of his humble profession to establish a primary school at his remote village called Newpadpu in Harekala, is about to witness the beginning of a PU college which was his long time dream. After a high school in the village, the government has now granted permission for the Pre-University College here and the classes are set to begin this year.
Many students of the village who passed SSLC stayed out of PUC due to the far distance they had to go to reach a college. Hajabba had tried hard to get a college here to benefit these rural students. Finally, the government had ordered for the establishment of a college at Newpadpu, a year ago. 1.3 acre of land was reserved for the college in Daganepadpu which has been registered under the Department of Pre-University Education.
Arts and commerce classes are set to begin in the current academic year and Prof Abdul Razak, faculty of economics at Government PU College Nalyapadavu, has been appointed as the in-charge principal for the college. Department of PU Education Assistant Director Jayanna stated that required number of lecturers would be appointed once the admission processes were done with. Lecturers from Government PU colleges with lesser work load and guest lecturers would be appointed for the posts. Padmashree Harekala Hajabba expressed joy for the beginning of the college and said that the local students would be benefited by it.

Five to six opposition MLAs might cross over to Mahayuti in few months: NCP chief whip Anil Patil
Mumbai, Nov 24: There is unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi camp and its five to six MLAs might join the ruling Mahayuti in the next few months, claimed NCP chief whip Anil Patil, who has retained his Amalner assembly seat, on Sunday.
The MVA of Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a crushing blow in the Maharashtra assembly polls, winning only 46 of the state's 288 seats. By contrast, the BJP-led ruling coalition, which also has NCP and Shiv Sena as partners, bagged an impressive 230 seats.
“There is tremendous unrest among some NCP (SP), Congress and Sena (UBT) MLAs who have been re-elected. Those having good relations with us have expressed concerns over MVA’s massive defeat,” Patil told Marathi news channel ABP Majha.
If one wants development works in his constituency, it is good to be in power, said the legislator from Ajit Pawar’s party.
“The MVA MLAs feel their future is uncertain. It shouldn’t be a surprise if five to six MLAs cross over to the Mahayuti in the next four months,” he said.
In the results of the Maharashtra polls declared on Saturday, BJP won in 132 constituencies, while its partners Shiv Sena and NCP walked away with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
From the MVA camp, Shiv Sena (UBT) bagged 20 seats followed by Congress’ 16 and 10 by NCP (SP).
