Chief Minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated a new building for the Bhavurao Deshpande Veterinary College in Kokatnur village near Athani in Belagavi district on Friday.
The college is named after Bhavurao Deshpande, former MLA and RSS leader, who hailed from Athani.
It is affiliated to the Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar.
Athani is among the remotest taluks in the State. It is situated at a distance of 150 km from the district headquarters of Belagavi. It is around 60 km from Sangli, 75 km from Vijayapura and 125 km from Bagalkot.
The government veterinary college is the second farm sciences institution in Belagavi district, after the government horticulture college in Arabavi.
Member of Legislative Assembly and former Minister Laxman Savadi said that the college will help youth get quality education and jobs in this backward region.
“However, the most important benefit of having a such a higher education institution will be that it will create an academic atmosphere. Qualified and experienced scientists will not only train youngsters but they will also introduce new and modern technologies to farmers, though extension services,” Mr. Savadi said.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
