The Karnataka Development Authority (KDA) has urged the State government to fill all 55,000 vacancies of teachers in government primary and high schools as soon as possible, KDA chairman Purushottam Bilimale said in Belagavi on Friday. He was speaking at a meeting of officials at Rani Channamma University. 'There are many vacancies in the State and these will soon increase owing to retirement of teachers. Teaching in schools is already affected and the situation will worsen if there is no immediate recruitment,' he said. Prof. Bilimale urged university teachers to ensure that the teaching-learning process was of high standards. 'Kannada is not just a means of communication, but also a medium of our rich culture. Universities bear the real responsibility of keeping our heritage alive'. He said KDA would encourage research in Kannada studies. He asked them to promote research and publication in science subjects in Kannada medium. 'We are trying to create a lot of reading material for schoolchildren in various disciplines. University faculty members should help us by contributing to the effort,' he said.

Vice-Chancellor of Rani Channamma University C.M. Thyagaraja has urged young students to update their skills using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and equip themselves to face the challenges of the future. He was speaking after inaugurating an orientation programme for pre-university students of KLE Society's Raja Lakhamagouda PU College in Belagavi recently. 'We are living in an era of Artificial Intelligence and students should have versatile skills to fit into the future world of employability. All of us, especially young people, need to learn to use these tools for furthering academic skills,' he said. He spoke about the role of parents and teachers in a student's life and urged them to develop the passion towards reading. 'Literature and art play a key role in shaping our lives. So, regardless of one's course and profession, people should read books. Education is the only asset that supports us all through. Nobody can take away our knowledge,' he said. Member of Board of Management, KLE Society, Mahantesh M. Kavatagimath said that the society has started integrated courses in PU colleges to prepare students for competitive exams like NEET/JEE and others. He said that the society's institutions have made drastic improvement in the field of medical sciences, engineering and technology. Some of our colleges like KAHER and BVB College of Engineering are on par with national institutions like AIMS and IITs, he said. Chairman of KLE Society Prabhakar Kore urged students to take care of their health as it is as important as their academic careers. All of us, especially parents, need to realise that medicine and engineering aren't the only professions that students should consider. The country needs good economists, lawyers, teachers and historians. 'We should encourage young people to look at such options also,' he said. Member of the governing council Vijaykumar Patil, principal V.C. Kamagol, faculty members and others were present, said a release.
