Social media users blame communal politics for plunge in performance of DK, Udupi in SSLC results
Bengaluru: After the performances of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts plunged in the recently announced SSLC results in the state, several social media users blamed communally pushed politics and issues in the region for the poor performance of the districts.
Udupi and Dakshina Kannada both would usually find place in top tier slots of the list of districts of the state in the SSLC examination, and the districts were known as intellectually advanced.
The two districts were recently eclipsed by the controversial Hijab row and the social and political unrest that followed. Hassan and Chikkaballapur however replaced Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts at the top of the chart.
Dakshina Kannada plunged to an unusual 20th position while Udupi managed to secure 13th place, a relatively unusual spot for the coastal district.
Attributing the backward trend to the communal politics in schools and colleges, several social media users expressed their outrage over the recent controversies citing the plunge as a repercussion of the same.
“Once a region of intelligent people, has now neglected education in the name of religion. Udupi district which would be at the top two in the list always has come down to 13th in the state. Salute to this achievement. Come, my Hindu student friends, let us fight against Hijab. Let us fight for our religion. Let education go to hell. We are used to be the slaves…Jai Shriram”, said Gajusanketh P Rao in a Facebook post.
Further, in another social media post, Nishanth Mandagadde said that, “Earlier, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Chikkamagaluru would be at the top of the results list. Now we see them in the centre. Religious intoxication among students is gradually snatching their future away. If this continues, we may have to look for the districts from the bottom of the list in the coming years. Shivamogga has already settled at the bottom.”
Several social media users have expressed their concerns over bringing communal politics into education while commenting on the transition of the two intelligent districts into regions of communal politics.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
