Karnataka's Siddaramaiah launches real-time 'CM Dashboard' for development monitoring
Agencies Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
The 'Chief Minister's Dashboard' (CM Dashboard), a platform that provides real-time, integrated insights into key development indicators across Karnataka was launched on Friday.
It was launched by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during the review meeting with Deputy Commissioners of all districts and CEOs of all Zilla Panchayats at Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the state legislature and secretariat here.
The dashboard, developed in-house by the Centre for e-Governance (CeG), is now functionally complete and hosted under the domain cmdashboard.karnataka.gov.in. This platform provides real-time, integrated insights into key development indicators across Karnataka, enabling data-driven governance and decision-making at the highest level, an official release said. The dashboard is built using a microservices-based architecture, ensuring scalability and ease of integration, and the data is integrated via APIs (Application Programming Interface) from various departments, eliminating manual entry.
According to officials, the dashboard categorises state performance data into four primary sectors: Economic Growth (e.g., investments, beneficiaries), Legal/Judiciary Management (e.g., RTI, Sakala case disposals), Infrastructure Development (e.g., roads, irrigation, renewable energy), and Citizen-Centric Governance (e.g., Guarantee Schemes, Janaspandana).
Designed to promote transparency, the portal displays real-time progress metrics and enables public access to key schemes and service outcomes, they said.

School association condemns government's disciplinary actions
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Karnataka Private School Managements Training Expressing strong concern and disappointment, the state's school association has written to, opposing the recent move to issue notices to District Deputy Directors of Public Instruction (DDPIs) over poor Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) results in certain districts. Siddaramaiah on Saturday had instructed the Chief Secretary to issue formal notices to the Deputy Directors of Public Instruction (DDPIs) in districts where the SSLC exam results were below 60%. The CM further directed that if the responses to these notices are found unsatisfactory, strict action should be taken against the concerned a letter to the CM, the association stated that while accountability is essential, punitive actions against officials without a thorough understanding of systemic issues amount to misplaced priorities. 'Issuing notices to DDPIs may appear to be a corrective measure, but it overlooks deep-rooted policy failures and long-standing ground-level challenges,' the letter noted.'We criticise the absence of structured consultation with teachers, school heads, and education experts, despite multiple comparative studies and reports being submitted to the government. We stress that the recent dip in SSLC performance is not a reflection of individual negligence but the result of systemic shortcomings,' said Shashi Kumar D, General Secretary of Associated Managements of Primary and Secondary Schools in Karnataka (KAMS) and Convenor of, Teaching & Non Teaching Staff Co-ordination Committee (KPMTCC). He said that these include the lack of continuous reforms at foundational levels, the poor implementation of the National Council of Educational Research and(NCERT) based spiral curriculum, the failure of the Nali-Kali framework, and the ineffectiveness of District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) in providing relevant pedagogical like CRPs, BEOs, and DDPIs, the letter stated, are often overburdened with administrative tasks, leaving little room for academic mentoring. 'When the system prioritises showing results over genuine learning, it breeds artificial performance and data manipulation—practices that endanger long-term educational integrity,' the association also raised concerns about the overuse of grace marks, calling it a band-aid solution that conceals the underlying learning crisis. Instead, they proposed the introduction of a more meaningful internal assessment system aligned with NCERT methodologies, starting from early grades. Calling the crisis 'a systemic challenge, not an individual lapse,' the association urged the Chief Minister to halt demoralising disciplinary actions and instead focus on deeper said that there is a need for review of education policy in line with the 2019 Right To Education (RTE) amendment, along with foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) programmes to revive quality education at the primary level. 'There is also a need for creation of an apolitical, consultative platform comprising MLAs from teachers' and graduates' constituencies, education experts, senior officials, and teacher associations to guide long-term education reforms,' he said.

Somanna slams Siddaramaiah for implicating farmers opposing Hemavathi link canal project
In a sharp political swipe, Minister of State for Railways V. Somanna on Sunday criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying he has become like 'a train that missed the village station.' 'The old Siddaramaiah is lost. He may take 10 steps forward, but then retreats 50 steps backward under pressure,' he said, while responding to media questions in Kalaburagi about the Hemavati Link Canal Project in Tumakuru. Accusing the State government of stagnation and political favouritism, the Central Minister condemned the Congress government for implicating farmers who are opposing the project. 'The State government is acting like stagnant water, trying to appease some while punishing others unjustly. Why are poor farmers being targeted with criminal cases? What wrong have they done? The State government should stop harassing people. Officials who once declared the project unfeasible are now saying it's possible, just to protect their positions,' he said urging the State government to work with Central irrigation experts to resolve issues on technical merit. Speaking on railway projects in Karnataka, Mr. Somanna said that works worth ₹7,654 crores have been announced in budget for 2025-26. 'During the UPA government, Karnataka got an insignificant amount for railway projects. Now, the amount has crossed ₹7,000 crore. Vande Bharat Express trains are already running across 13 districts in the State. There have been requests to run Vande Bharat trains between Mangaluru and Bengaluru and Belagavi and Bengaluru. These services will be launched shortly,' he said. Acknowledging concerns that rail services are becoming increasingly skewed toward upper class passengers due to the focus on air-conditioned coaches, Mr. Somanna said that Indian Railways will soon introduce 10,000 new general class coaches to better serve the needs of common passengers and address overcrowding in trains across the country. Mr. Somanna also noted that the Indian Railways is making significant savings of approximately ₹18,000 crore annually through electrification and promised that all new railway lines will be launched as electrified routes to ensure sustainability and cost-efficiency. 'As much as 44,000 km of railway lines have been doubled over the last 10 years. Electrification of several routes has led to significant savings, estimated at ₹17,000 crore to ₹18,000 crore, while also helping reduce air pollution. Out of the 300 Amrit Bharat railway stations being upgraded nationwide, 61 are located in Karnataka and are currently under development,' he said. Responding to comparisons with the UPA government, Mr. Somanna pointed out that during the 2009-10 fiscal year, ₹11,500 crore had been spent on doubling projects. In contrast, the present government has allocated ₹70,000 crore for such work in the 2025-26 fiscal year alone, he said arguing that this demonstrates a much stronger commitment to railway development than previous administrations.

Newly formed taluks will get Praja Soudhas as government-sanctioned administrative approvals
With Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah handing over the administrative approval letter to the Deputy Commissioner, Yadgir, the long-pending demand of the people of newly formed taluks to have a taluk administrative building is likely to be fulfilled in a year. Mr. Siddaramaiah handed over the letter to B. Susheela, Deputy Commissioner, after new taluks got administrative approval during the recent meeting held at Bengaluru. Yadgir district had three taluks — Yadgir, Shahapur and Shorapur (Surpur) then. But these taluks were divided when Chief Minister Jagadish Shetter announced it in 2013, as Gurmitkal divided from Yadgir, Wadagera from Shahapur and Hunsagi from Shorapur, respectively. Despite the announcement, new taluks weren't provided the taluk administrative buildings even after many years. Therefore, it was forced to function with the locally available government buildings. But, lack of sufficient space for administration, the officers and general public as well faced difficulties, more particularly in summer. Considering the necessity, the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government had promised to construct new taluk administrative buildings and named them 'Praja Soudha' and approved the proposal during the cabinet meeting held at Kalaburagi in September last year. After necessary formalities, taluks have finally got the administrative approval for the construction of Praja Soudhas in each taluk at a cost of ₹ 8.60 crore in two phases. Both Wadagera and Hunsagi taluks were represented by Congress MLAs Channareddy Patil Tunnur and Raja Venugopal Naik, while Gurmitkal was represented by JD(S) MLA Sharanagouda Kandkur. It is learnt that all MLAs have put their hands together for Praja Soudhas get administrative approval. 'The Chief Minister has shown special concern to build administrative buildings in the newly formed taluks, as they were much needed for the smooth functioning of daily activities and public convenience. The new Praja Soudha buildings will have all basic facilities and other requirements as people wanted,' Mr. Tunnur reacted. 'The Yadgir district has remained backward with a lack of civic facilities and government buildings. The government should establish other required buildings, including courts, for taluks for overall development,' Sharanu Gadduge, a pro-Kannada activist, has urged.
