MLA urges NGO to extend support in upgrading govt. schools
Chamarajanagar MLA C. Puttarangashetty on Friday said that NGOs should extend cooperation and support in revival and upgradation of government schools. Speaking at the inauguration of a newly constructed school building of the upgraded Government Higher Primary School in PWD Colony, he said that government has taken the initiative to upgrade schools, and this should be supported by NGOs. The school has been adopted and supported by Basava Rajendra Medical Trust. Ramachandraraje Urs, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Instruction, said many initiatives such as Nanna Shaale, Nanna Koduge (My School, My Contribution), have been launched, and alumni continue to contribute to improve amenities at schools. The official said the enrollment in the school was 62 in 2021–22, which rose to 119 in 2022–23 and 210 in 2023–24. In the current academic year 2025–26, 320 children have been enrolled, he said. The school, which earlier had classes from 1 to 8, will now be extended from LKG to 9th standard. It will have class 10 in the next academic year, said Mr. Urs. The Basava Rajendra Medical Trust has provided eight classrooms, a school vehicle, a borewell, furniture, books, uniforms, and computers to the school. The school will be developed in to a model school, he said. M. Basavarajendra, managing director of the trust, said that donation alone will not suffice in upgradation of schools, and the need of the hour was its proper utilisation. He said it is important to learn English, along with Kannada. 'In today's world, learning other languages, along with the mother tongue, is necessary for professional life. Hence, facilities should be provided to teach English in government schools,' said Mr. Basavarajendra. Members of the School Development Management Committee were present.

Shepherd's son gets word of UPSC success while grazing sheep, family gifts him lamb
BELAGAVI: Residents of a sleepy Maharashtra village erupted in joy after one of their own -- a shepherd's son -- cracked the prestigious UPSC exam. Beerappa Siddappa Doni from Emage, who secured the 551st rank, heard the news while he was grazing sheep in a field in Nanawadi, near Belagavi. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah personally called and congratulated Beerappa on his achievement. His father Siddappa, mother Balavva and other family members honoured him by performing a traditional aarti and garlanding him. The family also gifted him a lamb on the occasion. An elated Beerappa expressed his ambition to become an IPS officer. Meanwhile, the residents of another village across the border in Karnataka were also celebrating -- and for the same reason. Hanumanthappa Yellappa Nandi, the son of another shepherd from Kodliwad in Belagavi, bagged the 910th rank. His father Yellappa, mother Kalavva, wife Yashodha, brother Anand, other family members and the entire village were proud of his achievement in overcoming all odds and clearing the UPSC exam.
