No funds from muzrai temples diverted: DGR
Mangaluru: Minister for health and family welfare, Dinesh Gundu Rao, expressed concern over the spread of false information accusing the govt of diverting revenue from endowment temples for other purposes. Stating that the govt utilises the revenue from muzrai temples exclusively for the development of religious shrines under the department, the minister said that a few organisations have been spreading malicious campaigns against the govt with a political agenda. Rao was speaking at a consultation meeting with the management committee members of temples under the Hindu religious institutions and charitable endowments department on Friday. The Congress govt under chief minister Siddaramaiah increased 'tasdik' (remuneration for archaks) from Rs 24,000 to Rs 36,000 per year, and later to Rs 48,000 during his previous term. "The govt has further increased the tasdik to Rs 72,000. There is a political conspiracy to portray the Congress govt as anti-Hindu," Rao alleged. The state govt passed the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Bill to make provisions to utilise a portion of revenue from rich temples for the development of Hindu shrines with lower income. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "While the BJP opposed the bill, the governor has referred it to the President of India for approval," he said, and called upon endowment temple management committees to submit a memorandum to the governor and the President, seeking approval for the bill. MLC Manjunath Bhandary said that to prevent this malicious campaign, all endowment temples should put up notice boards clarifying that 'no funds from Hindu temples are diverted for other purposes.' He demanded that members of all B and C Grade endowment temples should be given ID cards from the department. Shwetha Palli, executive officer of Bappanadu Durgaparameshwari Temple, noted that 493 temples in Dakshina Kannada come under the muzrai department, of which 10 generate the highest income. MLC Ivan D'Souza, deputy commissioner Darshan HV and zilla panchayat CEO Narwade Vinayak Karbhari were present.

Jharkhand eyes second Sainik School
1 2 Ranchi: The state govt is planning to establish another Sainik School in the state to expand opportunities for students aspiring to join the armed forces. Chief secretary Alka Tiwari on Friday directed the state education department to initiate groundwork for the proposed institution. The department has been asked to identify potential locations and prepare necessary documentation so that a formal proposal can soon be submitted to the Union govt for approval. Currently, the state has only one Sainik School at Tilaiya in Koderma district which was established in 1963. "With 875 enrolled students, Tilaiya's Sainik School has the highest number of students enrolled among all the Sainik Schools across the country. To expand opportunities for the students of the state aspiring to join the armed forces, there is a need of another Sainik School in the state," the chief secretary said, directing the secretary of school education department to initiate groundwork for the proposed institution. Tiwari assured representatives of the existing Sainik School that all basic needs of the school will be met without any negligence, while chairing a meeting on Friday regarding various proposals and issues related to the school. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo During the meeting, a decision was taken to roll out new water supply project worth Rs 9.49 crore at the school.

No proposal for Bhubaneswar Metro to Centre: MoS
1 2 Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Metro rail project is notably absent from the list of metro rail proposals either received or sanctioned by the Centre, according to a reply by Union minister of state for housing and urban affairs, Tokhan Sahu, in the Lok Sabha on Friday. Over the past five years, the Centre received 17 proposals, including those submitted this year, but Bhubaneswar's project is not among them. In response to a query from Bharat Mathukumilli, Sahu informed the Lok Sabha that 24 metro projects are currently at various stages of implementation, in addition to the 17 approved by the Centre. Odisha's housing and urban development minister, Krushna Chandra Mahapatra, explained that the previous BJD govt did not submit a proposal for Bhubaneswar Metro because it intended to undertake the project independently, without central assistance. However, the current BJP govt plans to seek the central aid and will submit a proposal in due course. Mahapatra emphasised that the govt is earnestly planning a viable Metro project for the state capital, clarifying that the absence of a proposal submission to the Centre does not indicate lack of seriousness. "We have reimagined the Metro train project differently from the past govt's plan, which was not feasible. We aim to execute it as a joint venture with the Centre's help," Mahapatra said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IQ Worldwide - Test your Intelligence, know your IQ Score Try Now Undo The previous govt had announced a fully state-funded project worth more than Rs 5,000 crore, intended to connect Biju Patnaik International Airport with Trisulia Square. However, Mahapatra questioned the viability of such a route. "Why would people travel from the airport to Trisulia Square?" he asked. An inter-ministerial committee meeting on the new plan has already taken place, with a second review scheduled. "Once the committee meets and finalises, the next steps will be determined. It cannot proceed without the Centre's assistance," Mahapatra added.
