Will review PSI recruitment exam postponement: K'taka Home Minister Parameshwara
Bengaluru, Aug 30: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Friday said he would seek information from officials concerned regarding the UPSC Civil Services Examination clashing with the Police Sub-Inspector Recruitment exam on September 22.
Addressing reporters here, he said the state government announced the PSI exam date before the Union Public Service Commission did, but this point will be considered.
“We will see. We will review it. Already we have announced the date. In case there is any possibility or if we get more representations (from the candidates), we can consider it (postponement of PSI exam),” Parameshwara said.

The Minister further said that the exams cannot be postponed always by citing clash of dates with other exams as an excuse.
“Everything was going on very smoothly. When I was the Home Minister earlier, thousands of people were recruited (in the police department) without any hindrance, but this time there were hiccups such as the PSI scam and the delay in conducting the exam,” he said.
Two years ago, PSI recruitment scam came to light in which an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Amrit Paul was arrested along with several others.

MBBS course in Chhattisgarh to be offered in Hindi: CM Vishnu Deo Sai
Raipur, Sep 14: The MBBS course in Chhattisgarh will be offered in Hindi from the ongoing academic session, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters at his residence on the occasion of 'Hindi Diwas', Sai said his government was happy to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to impart medical education in Hindi which he had expressed during a rally in Uttar Pradesh in 2022.
"Our government has taken a big decision on Hindi Diwas. The MBBS course will now also be taught in Hindi. Books in Hindi will be introduced in the first year from this session (2024-25). The health department has been asked to arrange books and study materials," he said.
The move was part of efforts to "change our education policy at every level from the old Macaulay imperialist education policy", he said, adding the National Education Policy had been fully implemented in Chhattisgarh.
"The move will benefit students from rural areas since they mostly come from Hindi medium schools and face difficulty in medical courses despite being talented due to the use of English language. Studying in Hindi will strengthen their basics, help them develop a deep understanding of the subject and make them good doctors," Sai asserted.
Hindi Diwas commemorates the historic decision taken by the Constituent Assembly on September 14, 1949 to designate Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, as the official language of the Union of India.
