BJP MLA Vedavyas Kamath flays K'taka govt decision to cancel NEP
Mangaluru, Aug 21: BJP leader and Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyas Kamath on Monday criticised the decision of the Karnataka government to cancel the National Education Policy (NEP) in the state from the next academic year.
Addressing reporters here, Kamath said the decision of the government is not in the best interests of the students. The Union Government introduced the NEP with the larger objective of brining reforms to the nation's educational system and the policy was framed after extensive consultations.

Kamath said the education system should be the symbol of progress and should not be used for political games.

Man arrested in Belur for alleged dowry harassment, murder of wife
Belur: A 40-year-old man has been arrested in Rajanasiriyur village of Belur taluk on charges of dowry harassment and allegedly murdering his wife.
