UDAL initiative launched
Mangaluru: Deputy commissioner Mullai Muhilan MP launched the Urban & District Advancement through Localising Innovations (UDAL) initiative and the DC's Fellowship Programme virtually on Saturday. UDAL, which is being implemented through organising partner InUnity-Innovation for Community and Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL), is a platform for students and innovators to work on real-world civic issues in Dakshina Kannada, mentored by experts and supported by the district administration. Themes focused under the UDAL are sustainable city, urban city planning, public healthcare service, and disaster management. The DC said, "We explored opportunities to harness Mangaluru's capabilities for a long time. Our objective is to establish a structured framework that enables institutions to work alongside administrators for technological integration. We face numerous challenges, including waterlogging, difficulties in handling solid waste disposal, and various other concerns that require dedicated attention from individuals who can persistently identify solutions and address shortcomings. Engaging with educational institutions and collaborating with young students to comprehend challenges forms the core objectives. These partnerships aim to facilitate policy formulation through active participation and research-based understanding. Students gain direct experience with urban and district-level challenges while collaborating with senior administrative officials to develop effective solutions." Students can transform their technological solutions into viable products, fostering a startup ecosystem in Mangaluru, he said. "Young and bright individuals can contribute their expertise in technology and theoretical knowledge, while administrators continue their duties. Through collaboration, we can develop solutions that benefit everyone involved, particularly students participating in the DC's Fellowship programme. This initiative not only enhances their professional credentials but also cultivates their entrepreneurial spirit," he added. Under the DC's Fellowship programme, students will get an opportunity to work closely with the DC and city corporation sections on real civic innovations. They will be able to get mentored by industry and govt experts. Applications are shortlisted based on the criteria, and the top 10 fellows are paired with department champions to solve the pressing challenges, said a resource person. Dakshina Kannada ZP CEO and in-charge DC Anandh K participated in the virtual meeting.
