Nadoja award: Thinker Dr. G Ramakrishna refuses to accept honour from Governor Gehlot
Vijayanagar: Thinker Dr. G Ramakrishna, who was recently selected for the ‘Nadoja’ award by the Kannada University of Hampi, has called the selection an honour but has refused to receive the award from Karnataka Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot.
Ramakrishna, however, clarified in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday that his refusal to accept the award during the formal event did not mean that he was refusing the award itself.
He has stated that he held a long-term relationship with the University, starting with being professor there for two years three decades ago. He not only wrote a book published by the University, he also participated in several programmes there.
Speaking further about his relationship with the University, Ramakrishna said, addressing the Vice Chancellor, “If the syndicate there confers on me the degree of 'Nadoja', I will consider it an honour, there is no question of refusing. I have already written to you and informed you that I will accept the honor. Not going to the graduation ceremony is not a refusal of the degree. I have told everyone there and I think they all appreciated it. I humbly wish to convey this to all of them and all my friends.”
He added in his post, “I did not receive the award from the person from whose hand I was supposed to receive it and will not receive it in the future. There is another strong reason for not going and receiving the honor. I was not ready to receive the honor from the current Governor of the state, and I am still not.”

FIR registered against nurse, doc, pvt hospital mgt after finger of infant partially severed
Bengaluru (PTI): A case was registered against the nurse, doctor and management of a private hospital here for alleged negligence after the finger of a six-month-old baby boy was partially severed during the discharge process, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, in his complaint, Vijay Kumar said that on February 19, he took his six-month-old child to a private hospital in Indiranagar here for consultation after he developed fever and cold. As per the doctor's advise, he was admitted for further treatment at about 10.57 am.
He was to be discharged at 3 pm on February 24 and accordingly, the hospital bill was paid while the discharge process was going on in the ward.
At the time of discharge, the nurse on duty removed the drip. While removing the dressing, she allegedly cut the tip of the little finger on the child's left hand. Due to this, the child suffered severe pain and injury, he alleged, as per the FIR.
"Immediately thereafter, the child was taken to the emergency ward, where dressing was done and a plaster was applied. Initially, the concerned staff informed us that it was not a major injury and that since the child is small, it would heal on its own. However, due to their negligence, my 6-month-old child sustained a serious injury to the little finger of his left hand, causing immense pain and damage," the FIR read.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered under section 125 (b) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the nurse, doctor and the management of the hospital and the matter is being investigated.
