350 DAVV PhD seats likely to stay vacant
The vacant seats include over 300 from Non-DET (Direct Interview Based) courses across 25 subjects and nearly 70 seats in 13 engineering disciplines. In several subjects, the number of applicants reaching the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) interview stage was significantly lower than the number of available seats. In commerce, one of the highest intake subjects with 125 seats, only 15 candidates appeared for the interview, leaving around 110 seats vacant.
Similarly, for 282 seats in management, only 100 candidates were called, indicating that at least 182 seats are likely to remain unfilled.
The situation is similar in engineering, where only 51 candidates were expected for 111 seats, and even fewer turned up, resulting in around 70 vacant positions. Notably, 35 research guides across 10 subjects currently have no research scholars under their mentorship, despite having 4 to 8 seats allocated to each.

Most of these guides belong to commerce, management, and other less-subscribed fields.
DAVV PhD Cell in-charge Dr Ashesh Tiwari said that the next round of PhD admissions is expected to begin post-Diwali in November-December. The process will consider NET-qualified candidates from the June 2024 and upcoming December 2025 sessions. Meanwhile, concerns have emerged about subjects like political science, where 125 NET-qualified candidates competed for zero seats this year. Educationists question whether such high-demand candidates will get opportunities in next cycle, given the limited intake and growing competition.

Govt urged to restore powers vested in gram panchayat
Mangaluru: Karnataka State Federation of Gram Panchayat Representatives president Deviprasad Shetty Belapu said the govt should restore the powers vested in gram panchayats as per the decentralisation. Stating that gram panchayats lost several powers in terms of administration, Shetty said that massive protests will be organised across the state. "The state and central govts seem to have no interest in strengthening panchayati raj institutions. The power of local governance envisaged under the Gram Swaraj system is being snatched away from people. People faced inconvenience while seeking building licences, purchasing sites, and obtaining Forms 9 and 11. There is a concerted effort to finish off the GP system of local governance. While efforts to end the taluk and zilla panchayat system seem to be successful, secret moves are being made to destroy the GP system too," Shetty said. This may put an end to even the elections for GPs in the state. Rights and freedom of GPs are being seized through govt orders. He said GPs lost even the power to issue door numbers for houses and other buildings in villages in the name of urban development authorities. People also lost their right to build a house with basic infrastructure, he said. "We will strengthen the forum of gram panchayat representatives under four zones - Hyderabad Karnataka, North Karnataka, coastal Karnataka, and Malnad region, to launch protests. CM Siddaramaiah, RDPR minister Priyank Kharge, MLCs Manjunath Bhandary and Kishore Kumar Puttur, who represent local authorities constituency, should consider the issue seriously," he added.

Over 100 members, many dressed in vibrant cultural attire, began and ended the run at the Kanara Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI). The route passed iconic landmarks including the Zeenath Baksh Masjid, India's oldest active mosque, the Old Bunder Spice Market, Vartak Vilas Palace, the Flower Market at Car Street, Ideal Ice Cream, Lady Goschen Hospital, Rosario Church, and Albuquerque Tiles Factory, one of the earliest and still-functioning Mangaluru tile factories whose signature red tiles are famed across India and beyond. The route also included the Old DC Office, a stately colonial-era building that once served as the administrative hub of the British govt in Dakshina Kannada. At several stops, members shared fascinating historical snippets, bringing Mangaluru's layered past to life. The run concluded with a guided visit to KCCI's Gallery of Trade History of Bunder by architect Niren Jain, who designed the space to capture the story of Mangaluru's historic cosmopolitan port through curated visuals and restored architecture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo The group was warmly welcomed by Anand G Pai, president of KCCI, and Aditya Padmanabha Pai, secretary of KCCI.

Stray dog menace: Meghalaya HC satisfied with govt steps
Guwahati: Meghalaya high court has expressed satisfaction regarding substantial action taken by the state govt to mitigate the menace of stray dogs after a petition was filed by one Kaustav Paul. Submitting their report before a bench of Chief Justice IP Mukerji and Justice W Diengdoh, the govt detailed their steps, which included setting up of awareness camps, drives to vaccinate stray dogs against rabies, sterilisation and castration, and providing shelters to segregate the dogs from people. The court also took note that the committees, under rule 4 of the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001, had been constituted for South Garo Hills district and West Jaintia Hills district to implement the rules. The committees for the other 10 districts were formed earlier, which had been submitted by the additional advocate general T Yangi B before the court during the previous hearing of the petition last month. The petitioner, through the petition filed last year, sought the court to pass orders, directing the state to take appropriate measures to control the menace caused by stray dogs. The next hearing for the case will be held on Aug 28. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
