Students should aim to become real heroes: KHB chief
Mysuru: Students should not limit their dreams to just seeing film actors and cricket players, or taking photos and selfies with them. They should aim to become real heroes and heroines by succeeding in competitive exams, advised Karnataka Housing Board commissioner KA Dayananda.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of an IAS and KAS exam training camp organised in collaboration with Karnataka State Open University at the Cauvery auditorium on Tuesday, he emphasised the importance of dreams and the clarity needed to achieve goals.
He advised students to pass competitive exams and strive to quickly overcome challenging situations. He further stated that dreams without continuous hard work are meaningless.
"Students should study diligently and avoid procrastination. They should not waste even a minute and should remain engaged in their studies until they achieve their goals," he added.
Today's youth are intelligent, but they lack patience and effort. They do not distinguish between good and bad and are unaware of the depth of hunger. This is why they get caught in stampedes like Chinnaswamy while trying to see their film or sports hero. If the youth had an awareness of hunger and literacy, they would grow to become truly famous individuals, he said.
KSOU vice-chancellor Sharanappa V Halase, registrar of exams Anand Kumar, and KSOU competitive exam centre coordinator Jainahalli Sathyanarayana Gowda were present.

Karnataka Govt Orders Probe Into Chinnaswamy Stadium Stampede, Appoints Bengaluru Urban DC
The Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka has issued an order appointing senior IAS officer G. Jagadeesha, the Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate to investigate the stampede incident which caused the death of 11 people near Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, officials said. The tragic incident unfolded on Wednesday claiming the the lives of at least 11 people and more than 40 injuries as fans of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) gathered outside the Chinnaswamy stadium during the victory celebration of the team after it won its first IPL trophy in 18 years. The order was issued by the Deputy Secretary of the Internal Department (Law and Order) on Wednesday evening. The state government has ordered a magisterial inquiry, led by IAS officer G. Jagadeesha, to investigate the stampede near Chinnaswamy Stadium's entrance gates that resulted in deaths. The inquiry must be completed within 15 days, with a report submitted to the government. A police report cited by the government states that during RCB's victory celebrations on June 4, thousands of fans gathered in front of Chinnaswamy Stadium. The report indicates that despite all possible security measures being initiated due to the short notice for the programme, between 3.30 pm and 4.30 pm, a barricade broke as people rushed inside the stadium, causing individuals to fall on each other. This led to the stampede, resulting in the deaths of 11 persons and injuries to 47, according to the State Police Chief's report cited in the order. CM Announcement Following the tragic incident, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah advised the ordering of a magisterial probe earlier in the press conference and also announced Rs 10 lakh compensation for the families of the deceased victims. The Karnataka government had earlier cancelled the victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, citing security reasons.
