Infra works carried out at govt. school in Karnataka's Harohalli village using CSIR fund
Six newly constructed classrooms and a midday meal hall were inaugurated at the Government Higher Primary School in Harohalli village, Mysuru taluk, on Wednesday. The facilities have been built under a CSR initiative to improve educational infrastructure in the area. Supported by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries through its CSR fund, along with contributions from the Taluk Panchayat development fee and the Viveka School scheme, the new buildings aim to provide better learning conditions for students. MLA for Chamundeshwari G.T. Deve Gowda inaugurated the new infrastructure, which includes classrooms for both the higher primary and high school sections. The previous buildings were in a dilapidated condition and required urgent replacement, Mr. Gowda stated. The new facilities, he said, were made possible through the sustained efforts of local villagers and parents over the past five years. The new hall and kitchen for serving midday meals were also formally launched on the occasion, much to the satisfaction of the village community. On the occasion, the MLA announced an incentive for achievers in the school, under which three students scoring the highest marks in the 7th and 10th standard exams would be awarded a cash prize of ₹3,000 each from his personal funds from next year. The MLA urged the teachers and the community to ensure that the Harohalli school emerge as a model school in the region and produce achievers. Schools in rural areas must be developed for bringing recognition to their villages, he said.

Tulu can be used in panchayat meetings, no legal bar
A controversy has erupted in coastal Karnataka after a letter from the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to Taluk Panchayat officials sparked confusion over the use of the Tulu language in gram panchayat meetings. Responding to the development, Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy president Tarananth Gatti Kapikad clarified that there is no legal restriction on elected representatives using Tulu during discussions in gram panchayat general body meetings. He urged the CEO to withdraw the advisory to avoid further confusion. The issue arose after Muralidhar, director of Yashaswi Nagarika Seva Samsthe in Karkala, submitted a representation to the ZP CEO requesting that Kannada be prioritised in panchayat meetings and Tulu use be avoided by officials and members. Acting on the petition, the ZP CEO reportedly wrote to Taluk Panchayat Executive Officers to take action as per rules. However, it is noteworthy that the CEO's letter does not explicitly ban the use of Tulu, nor does it impose any language restriction.
