Minister orders counselling-based transfers in Skill Development dept
'To put an end to the practice of employees seeking transfers through influence and recommendations, all postings should now be done through counselling. This will also enable staff to secure postings at preferred locations,' the minister said in a statement.
Patil reminded that the state government has already set June 16 as the deadline for general transfers of government employees and officials. Taking a strong stance on administrative inefficiency, Patil criticised senior officials in the department for 'failing' to effectively implement government programmes. He directed the secretary to issue show-cause notices and transfer the concerned officials without delay.
Meanwhile, in a significant initiative aimed at enhancing youth employability, Patil directed institutions like the Government Tool and Training Centre (GTTC), Karnataka German Technical Training Institute (KGTTI), and departments under the National Livelihood Mission (NLM) to enrol applicants from the Yuvanidhi scheme and Udyoga Melas into short, and long-term skill development programmes.
Yuvanidhi is a government scheme that provides domicile Karnataka candidates who graduated or completed diploma courses in 2023 with an unemployment allowance for two years.
Udyoga Mela is a job fair organised by the Karnataka government to provide employment opportunities to unemployed youth. 'Despite being graduates, many candidates at job fairs are rejected due to a lack of soft and technical skills. We must use the vast database of Yuvanidhi and Udyoga Mela applicants to bridge this gap with relevant training,' he added.

We will have to fight a battle for freedom once again to protect our agriculture: MLC Satej Patil
Kolhapur: Once upon a time, our country fought for its freedom. Now, we will have to fight a battle for freedom once again to protect our agriculture. Farmers should not fall prey to the lure of money, said Congress leader for legislative council MLC Satej Patil on Monday. Patil was addressing the 'dhadak' morcha at Ajara in Kolhapur district on behalf of Shaktipeeth Highway Virodhi Sangharsh Samiti. The morcha was held in Ajara town from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue to Ajara Tehsildar office in presence of large number of farmers. Slogans like 'Ekach Jidd, Shaktipeeth Radd', 'Shaktipeeth Radd Jhalach Pahije' were raised on the occasion. "We never oppose projects which are necessary. However, we are opposing this project as it will destroy agriculture for the sake of contractors. After Ganesh festival, the fight against Shaktipeeth will be intensified. A conspiracy is being hatched to take away agriculture from farmers and put thousands of acres of agriculture in the hands of industrialists. Let us all remain united against the unnecessary Shaktipeeth project," added Patil. Former MP Raju Shetti said, "The lands that farmers brought under irrigation with great difficulty will not be given to thieves. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire per il futuro? Inizia da qui eToro Click Here Undo Due to Shaktipeeth, Kolhapur city and rural areas will be affected by floods. There is a plan to smuggle bauxite by excavating in eco-sensitive zones through this Shaktipeeth project. When an 800-km road needs 32,000 crores for its construction, the state govt has a plan to unnecessarily show a price of 1,06,000 crore and share 70,000 crores among themselves. Why sacrifice us for chief minister Devendra Fadnavis's dream project?" "This is the govt that drives bulldozers on slums, irritates farm labourers, and takes away land of the poor. This govt is attracted by money of industrialists. Farmers will not remain silent till the Shaktipeeth project is cancelled," said Shiv Sena (UBT) district convenor Vijay Dewane and comrade Sampat Desai on the occasion.

Country should move forward adhering to the principles of the Constitution: Sharan Prakash Patil
Minister for Medical Education Sharan Prakash Patil stressed building a strong and healthy nation based on the history that the country had before independence. 'The country should move forward with peace and brotherhood and also adhering to the principles of the Constitution and respecting its values,' he said. He was addressing the crowd after hoisting the national flag at Mahatma Gandhi Stadium in Raichur to mark the 79th Independence Day on Friday. 'India got independence after a supreme sacrifice by lakhs of freedom fighters. After independence, the country had its constitution drafted by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, who envisaged equal rights for all citizens irrespective of their caste and religion. Therefore, every citizen must adhere to them to take the country forward unitedly in all sectors,' Dr. Patil said. Praising the contributions of the 12th-century saints and spiritual icons, primarily Basavanna, to bring equality and uphold social justice, he said that Kalyan Karnataka has got its special prominence in the state for these reasons. Despite spiritual richness, the region remained backward, and considering this, the UPA government at the centre brought an amendment to the Constitution, inserting 371 J to ensure special status. Thus, the region is getting an annual grant of ₹5,000 crore, and thousands are getting seats in medical and engineering courses, and, apart from that, those who are eligible are getting jobs, the Minister said. Dr. Patil, who is also the District in-charge Minister, also said that the State government is committed to developing the Raichur district with new projects. The district will soon get a convention hall and a cancer hospital at a cost of ₹50 crore each. The new airport will also come up shortly. But as far as the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) is concerned, the State government had already submitted a proposal to the centre, he added. MP G. Kumar Naik, MLAs Shivaraj Patil and Basanagouda Daddal, MLC Vasant Kumar, Mayor Narasamma Narasimhalu, Deputy Commissioner Nitish K., CEO Eshwar Kumar Kandoo, Superintendent of Police G. Puttamadaiah, City Corporation Commissioner Jubin Mohapatra, Additional Deputy Commissioner Shivanand, Assistant Commissioner Gajanan Bale, Tahsildar Suresh Varma and others were present.
