Education is an abode to create human resources: Veerappa Moily
Renovated Ravindra Kalabhavan of Mangaluru University College inaugurated
Mangaluru, Feb 26: Former union minister and Lok Sabha Member Dr M Veerappa Moily said that education was not just to get degree certificates, but it was an abode to create human resources.
Inaugurating a renovated Ravindra Kala Bhavan complex, with a financial assistance from the University Grants Commission, at the Mangaluru University College on Tuesday, Moily said that the colleges were the places of inspiration to tap hidden talents among students and to make impossible into possible through various research works. The College has been playing a major role in encouraging the students through various creative forms and he was also an example for it, Moily said recalling his days in the college as alumni.
The college which has more than 150 years of history, would require additional Rs 1.14 crore and if the proper project report was prepared, he would ensure the funds, he assured.
Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that Dr Veerappa Moily has proved that irrespective of his position and status, he contributed for the development of the college where he had studied.
City Corporation Mayor Bhaskar K, Chief Minister’s parliamentary secretary Ivan D’Souza, Mangaluru University registrar Prof AM Khan, Alumni Association president Dharmanna Nayak, College Principal Dr Uday Kumar and others were present.
From 0% to 95 %
“When I was the education minister, I wanted to visit the college where I have studied. But vice chancellor Dr Savadatti had brought me with lot of reservations. The situation in the college was like after the war situation. Tables and desks were scattered. I was shocked to see that situation. But I suggested to make the college as university college. But my suggestion had received much opposition in the beginning. The result was 0%. But since March 6, 1993, new era has begun in the college which is getting 95 % results now”, said Dr M. Veerappa Moily.
Inauguration for second time!
The renovated Ravindra Kala Bhavan was inaugurated on June 2, 2018 earlier. Today, it was inaugurated for the second time. In 1922, Nobel award winning poet Rabindranath Tagore had visited the college which is considered as the historical monument by the Archeological Department.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
