BJP Yuva Morcha seeks action sought against irregularities, corruption in Gulbarga University
Accusing the Gulbarga University authorities of violating the prescribed evaluation standards, district vice-president of the BJP Yuva Morcha Shiva Ashtagi has urged Higher Education Minister M.C. Sudhakar to address irregularities and corruption in the university. Addressing presspersons here on Monday, Mr. Ashtagi raised concerns over irregularities in the evaluation process and complaints regarding careless evaluation of exam papers. Citing a few examples, he said that students have been given very low marks in particular subjects but they have been awarded a staggeringly high marks after they applied for revaluation. He said that some evaluators were awarding marks without assessing the answer sheets thoroughly. He also said that the university has delayed the process of evaluation for eight months and the authorities are not even uploading marks and other data onto the Unified University and College Management System (UUCMS) portal of the university within stipulated time. Expressing displeasure over the university relying heavily on contract and outsourced employees for decades, Mr. Ashtagi urged the State government to appoint a permanent Vice-Chancellor and recruit faculties for the various departments in the university immediately.

Gulbarga University suspects evaluation scam, seeks CID probe
Suspecting erratic evaluation and tampering of marks in the evaluation of answer sheets of examination held in December 2024, the Gulbarga University wrote to the Department of Higher Education seeking permission for conducting an investigation through the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The decision was taken in the recently held syndicate meeting at the varsity. As many as 6,566 students, including 2,427 in 2nd semester and 4,139 in 4th semester, appeared for the examination held in December 2024. The Vice-Chancellor noticed that some students secured identical marks in multiple subjects, and also found tampering of marks. The marks of some students increased significantly after re-evaluation, which led to doubts on the evaluation process. Besides seeking permission for an investigation by the CID, the syndicate members also sought to appoint the custodians and assistant custodians from government and aided colleges, and evaluators from different universities in neighbouring districts for the re-evaluation of the answer papers of all 6,566 students as part of investigation. Gulbarga University Registrar Ramesh Londonkar told The Hindu that the university has written to the Principal Secretary of the Higher Education Department requesting that the CID be entrusted with a comprehensive investigation into the alleged evaluation scam of answer papers. 'We have also a high-level inquiry to rectify the flaws occurring in the evaluation process, and to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future,' he said.

Guarantee schemes hailed as a boon to women, youth
The State government's guarantee schemes are playing a transformative role in empowering women and youth, said vice-president of the State Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority S.R. Mehroz Khan. Speaking at an event to interact with beneficiaries of Yuva Nidhi scheme at Mahatma Gandhi Auditorium in Gulbarga University on Wednesday, Mr. Khan highlighted the impact of the scheme on youth employment. 'Due to the implementation of Yuva Nidhi, the unemployment rate in the State has dropped to 2.25% from 4.8%,' he said. He added that these welfare schemes, which cost the government around ₹52,000 crore annually, are unparalleled globally. 'International studies have affirmed that such comprehensive welfare models are rare. These schemes have helped secure the lives of millions of people in Karnataka,' he noted. Mr. Khan also pointed out that the Shakti scheme has not only supported women's professional journeys but also helped them lead independent lives. As a result of the Shakti and Gruha Lakshmi schemes, women's entrepreneurship in the State has risen to 12%. Similarly, the Anna Bhagya scheme has alleviated hunger, while free electricity under Gruha Jyothi has further lightened the financial burden on households, he said. 'There are often allegations of corruption in other welfare schemes but the guarantee schemes have been implemented transparently without any misappropriation. Credit for this goes to the leadership of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah,' Mr. Khan said. He urged beneficiaries facing technical issues with Yuva Nidhi disbursements to call the toll-free helpline 1800-599-7154 for resolution. He also encouraged youth to take the lead in spreading awareness about these schemes in their communities. Several beneficiaries shared their experiences during the interaction. 'For the past 11 months, I've been receiving financial support through Yuva Nidhi. It has helped me buy books and attend training to secure employment,' said Shivalingayya. 'Coming from a farming family with limited financial means, the Yuva Nidhi scheme has helped me and my brother undergo job training in Dharwad. Gruha Lakshmi funds are also being received and free electricity under Gruha Jyothi has brightened our home,' said Vijayalakshmi, a postgraduate student. Nabi, another student, called for gender-inclusive access to the benefits of the Shakti scheme for both male and female students. 'Thanks to the Shakti scheme, I have been able to travel and visit places I never imagined. This free travel is enabling parents to consider higher education for their daughters,' said Pooja, a chemistry student. Zilla Panchayat CEO Bhanwar Singh Meena urged students to actively participate in extracurricular activities and discussions alongside their studies. 'Success in life is possible through hard work. Make full use of the university campus and library facilities. Yuva Nidhi must be used wisely,' he said. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including District Guarantee Schemes Implementation Authority chairperson Chandrika Parameshwari, vice-chairperson Somashekhara Hiremath, Chief Planning Officer S.S. Mathapati, Project Director Jagadeva, Assistant Director of the District Employment Exchange Bharathi, Deputy Director of the Food and Civil Supplies Department Bheemaraya and Gulbarga University Registrar Ramesh Landankar.
